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_doit() if family->maxattr is zero. Do the
same also in genl_family_rcv_msg_doit().

The use of a goto statement as a replacement for an if is making me
uncomfortable. 

Looks like both callers of genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() jump
around it if !family->maxattr and then check the result with IS_ERR().

Would it not make more sense to have genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse()
return NULL if !family->maxattr?

Just wondering, if you guys prefer this version I can apply..

I used instead of a simple if because (1) it's what the dumpit code does
and (2) the function call arguments are already quite pressed to the
80-character barrier.

This sounds like a good solution. I'll check again in the morning and
send v3.

Okay. Sounds fine to me.
