genetlink: do not parse attributes for families with zero maxattr
Commit c10e6cf85e7d ("net: genetlink: push attrbuf allocation and parsing to a separate function") moved attribute buffer allocation and attribute parsing from genl_family_rcv_msg_doit() into a separate function genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() which, unlike the previous code, calls __nlmsg_parse() even if family->maxattr is 0 (i.e. the family does its own parsing). The parser error is ignored and does not propagate out of genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() but an error message ("Unknown attribute type") is set in extack and if further processing generates no error or warning, it stays there and is interpreted as a warning by userspace. Dumpit requests are not affected as genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit() bypasses the call of genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() if family->maxattr is zero. Move this logic inside genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() so that we don't have to handle it in each caller. v3: put the check inside genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() v2: adjust also argument of genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_free() Fixes: c10e6cf85e7d ("net: genetlink: push attrbuf allocation and parsing to a separate function") Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
