Jakub Kicinski ef5ca97293 Merge branch 'macsec-replace-custom-netlink-attribute-checks-with-policy-level-checks'
Sabrina Dubroca says:

====================
macsec: replace custom netlink attribute checks with policy-level checks

We can simplify attribute validation a lot by describing the accepted
ranges more precisely in the policies, using NLA_POLICY_MAX etc.

Some of the checks still need to be done later on, because the
attribute length and acceptable range can vary based on values that
can't be known when the policy is validated (cipher suite determines
the key length and valid ICV length, presence of XPN changes the PN
length, detection of duplicate SCIs or ANs, etc).

As a bonus, we get a few extack messages from the policy
validation. I'll add extack to the rest of the checks (mostly in the
genl commands) in an future series.

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 reStructuredText 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.
