I see, you're right indeed.
We can probably simplify this code, but just doing:
if (!l4proto->ctnl_timeout.nlattr_to_obj))
return 0;
netlink attribute parsing here.
You could even remove the likely() thing, which doesn't make much
sense for control plane code.
I understand this is a larger change, but I think this function will
look better while we're removing VLA.
Would you mind having a look? I'd appreciate if so.
Thanks.
