      netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag · ae0be8de
      Michal Kubecek 提交于
      Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
      netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
      setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
      not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
      mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
      the structure of their contents.
      
      Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
      userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
      through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
      nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
      as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
      are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().
      
      Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
      this semantic patch:
