Add range validation for NLA_BINARY, allowing validation of any combination of combination minimum or maximum lengths, using the existing NLA_POLICY_RANGE()/NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE() macros, just like for integers where the value is checked. Also make NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN(), NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN_WARN() and NLA_POLICY_MIN_LEN() special cases of this, removing the old types NLA_EXACT_LEN and NLA_MIN_LEN. This allows us to save some code where both minimum and maximum lengths are requires, currently the policy only allows maximum (NLA_BINARY), minimum (NLA_MIN_LEN) or exact (NLA_EXACT_LEN), so a range of lengths cannot be accepted and must be checked by the code that consumes the attributes later. Also, this allows advertising the correct ranges in the policy export to userspace. Here, NLA_MIN_LEN and NLA_EXACT_LEN already were special cases of NLA_BINARY with min and min/max length respectively. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
