Thinking it over I'm still not completely happy with this. A small subset of all the validation tasks is simply too complex to be put into the policy. The validation of your type value array is such a case, address fields with variable length based on their family is another. I think it's just not worth to blow up struct nla_policy by 12 bytes per entry just to save some code. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
