From: David Ahern Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 04:02:25 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tools/accounting/getdelays.c: fix netlink attribute length X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=002e9efb463bc73e246154d28aabfb2034dab001;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git tools/accounting/getdelays.c: fix netlink attribute length commit 4054ab64e29bb05b3dfe758fff3c38a74ba753bb upstream. A recent change to the netlink code: 6e237d099fac ("netlink: Relax attr validation for fixed length types") logs a warning when programs send messages with invalid attributes (e.g., wrong length for a u32). Yafang reported this error message for tools/accounting/getdelays.c. send_cmd() is wrongly adding 1 to the attribute length. As noted in include/uapi/linux/netlink.h nla_len should be NLA_HDRLEN + payload length, so drop the +1.
