Johannes Berg 4b6cc7284d netlink: clarify attribute length check documentation
The documentation for how the length of attributes
is checked is wrong ("Exact length" isn't true, the
policy checks are for "minimum length") and a bit
misleading. Make it more complete and explain what
really happens.

* +----------------------+- - -+--------------------------------+
* | Family Header | Pad | Attributes |
* +----------------------+- - -+--------------------------------+
* nlmsg_attrdata(nlh, hdrlen)---^
*
* Data Structures:
* struct nlmsghdr netlink message header
*
* Message Construction:
* nlmsg_new() create a new netlink message
* nlmsg_put() add a netlink message to an skb
* nlmsg_put_answer() callback based nlmsg_put()
* nlmsg_end() finalize netlink message
* nlmsg_get_pos() return current position in message
* nlmsg_trim() trim part of message
* nlmsg_cancel() cancel message construction
* nlmsg_free() free a netlink message
*
* Message Sending:
* nlmsg_multicast() multicast message to several groups
* nlmsg_unicast() unicast a message to a single socket
* nlmsg_notify() send notification message
*
* Message Length Calculations:
* nlmsg_msg_size(payload) length of message w/o padding
* nlmsg_total_size(payload) length of message w/ padding
* nlmsg_padlen(payload) length of padding at tail
*
* Message Payload Access:
* nlmsg_data(nlh) head of message payload

* nlmsg_attrdata(nlh, hdrlen) head of attributes data
* nlmsg_attrlen(nlh, hdrlen) length of attributes data

* <- nla_len(nla) -> ^
* nla_data(nla)----^ |
* nla_next(nla)-----------------------------'
*
* Data Structures:
* struct nlattr netlink attribute header
*
* Attribute Construction:
* nla_reserve(skb, type, len) reserve room for an attribute
* nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len) reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr
* nla_put(skb, type, len, data) add attribute to skb
* nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data) add attribute w/o hdr
* nla_append(skb, len, data) append data to skb
*
* Attribute Construction for Basic Types:
* nla_put_u8(skb, type, value) add u8 attribute to skb
* nla_put_u16(skb, type, value) add u16 attribute to skb
* nla_put_u32(skb, type, value) add u32 attribute to skb
* nla_put_u64(skb, type, value) add u64 attribute to skb
* nla_put_string(skb, type, str) add string attribute to skb
* nla_put_flag(skb, type) add flag attribute to skb
* nla_put_msecs(skb, type, jiffies) add msecs attribute to skb
*
* Exceptions Based Attribute Construction:
* NLA_PUT(skb, type, len, data) add attribute to skb
* NLA_PUT_U8(skb, type, value) add u8 attribute to skb
* NLA_PUT_U16(skb, type, value) add u16 attribute to skb
* NLA_PUT_U32(skb, type, value) add u32 attribute to skb
* NLA_PUT_U64(skb, type, value) add u64 attribute to skb
* NLA_PUT_STRING(skb, type, str) add string attribute to skb
* NLA_PUT_FLAG(skb, type) add flag attribute to skb
* NLA_PUT_MSECS(skb, type, jiffies) add msecs attribute to skb
*
* The meaning of these functions is equal to their lower case
* variants but they jump to the label nla_put_failure in case
* of a failure.
*
* Nested Attributes Construction:
* nla_nest_start(skb, type) start a nested attribute
* nla_nest_end(skb, nla) finalize a nested attribute
* nla_nest_cancel(skb, nla) cancel nested attribute construction
*
* Attribute Length Calculations:
* nla_attr_size(payload) length of attribute w/o padding
* nla_total_size(payload) length of attribute w/ padding
* nla_padlen(payload) length of padding
*
* Attribute Payload Access:
* nla_data(nla) head of attribute payload
* nla_len(nla) length of attribute payload
*
* Attribute Payload Access for Basic Types:
* nla_get_u8(nla) get payload for a u8 attribute
* nla_get_u16(nla) get payload for a u16 attribute
* nla_get_u32(nla) get payload for a u32 attribute
* nla_get_u64(nla) get payload for a u64 attribute
* nla_get_flag(nla) return 1 if flag is true
* nla_get_msecs(nla) get payload for a msecs attribute
*
* Attribute Misc:
* nla_memcpy(dest, nla, count) copy attribute into memory
* nla_memcmp(nla, data, size) compare attribute with memory area
* nla_strlcpy(dst, nla, size) copy attribute to a sized string
* nla_strcmp(nla, str) compare attribute with string
*
* Attribute Parsing:
* nla_ok(nla, remaining) does nla fit into remaining bytes?
* nla_next(nla, remaining) get next netlink attribute
* nla_validate() validate a stream of attributes
* nla_validate_nested() validate a stream of nested attributes
* nla_find() find attribute in stream of attributes
* nla_find_nested() find attribute in nested attributes
* nla_parse() parse and validate stream of attrs
* nla_parse_nested() parse nested attribuets
* nla_for_each_attr() loop over all attributes
