In commit 4e8b86c06269 ("mqprio: Introduce new hardware offload mode and
shaper in mqprio"), the TCA_OPTIONS format of mqprio was extended to
contain a fixed portion (of size NLA_ALIGN(sizeof struct tc_mqprio_qopt))
and a variable portion of other nlattrs (in the TCA_MQPRIO_* type space)
following immediately afterwards.
In commit feb2cf3dcfb9 ("net/sched: mqprio: refactor nlattr parsing to a
separate function"), we've moved the nlattr handling to a smaller
function, but yet, a small parse_attr() still remains, and the larger
mqprio_parse_nlattr() still does not have access to the beginning, and
the length, of the TCA_OPTIONS region containing these other nlattrs.
In a future change, the mqprio qdisc will need to iterate through this
nlattr region to discover other attributes, so eliminate parse_attr()
and add 2 variables in mqprio_parse_nlattr() which hold the beginning
and the length of the nlattr range.
We avoid the need to memset when nlattr_opt_len has insufficient length
by pre-initializing the table "tb".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
