Linux kernel source tree
b462579b2b
nftables has two types of sets/maps, one where userspace defines the
name, and anonymous sets/maps, where userspace defines a template name.
For the latter, kernel requires presence of exactly one "%d".
nftables uses "__set%d" and "__map%d" for this. The kernel will
expand the format specifier and replaces it with the smallest unused
number.
As-is, userspace could define a template name that allows to move
the set name past the 256 bytes upperlimit (post-expansion).
I don't see how this could be a problem, but I would prefer if userspace
cannot do this, so add a limit of 16 bytes for the '%d' template name.
16 bytes is the old total upper limit for set names that existed when
nf_tables was merged initially.

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.
