Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] netlink: specs: fou: change local-v6/peer-v6 check
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2025 14:50:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250901145034.525518-2-ast@fiberby.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250901145034.525518-1-ast@fiberby.net>
While fixing the binary min-len implementaion, I noticed that
the only user, should AFAICT be using exact-len instead.
In net/ipv4/fou_core.c FOU_ATTR_LOCAL_V6 and FOU_ATTR_PEER_V6
are only used for singular IPv6 addresses, a exact-len policy,
therefore seams like a better fit.
AFAICT this was caused by lacking support for the exact-len check
at the time of the blamed commit, which was later remedied by
c63ad379526 ("tools: ynl-gen: add support for exact-len validation").
This patch therefore changes the local-v6/peer-v6 attributes to
use an exact-len check, instead of a min-len check.
Fixes: 4eb77b4ecd3c ("netlink: add a proto specification for FOU")
