Currently, nf_tables trims off the set name if it exceeeds 15
bytes, so explicitly reject set names that are too large.

Not related to your patch, but it looks to me as if all of these
should be NLA_NUL_STRING, no?

This is what I originally thought. But all of the nla_* functions use
the nla_len to know length of the string coming from userspace, so
they don't rely on the trailing nul-termination.

Anyway, I'd appreciate if you can do a second look at this to make
sure I'm not overlooking anything. Thanks.

Indeed.  I reviewed this again but only 'bug' I spotted:

nf_tables_chain_type_lookup() does:
request_module("nft-chain-%u-%*.s", ....

('%.*s' was probably intended).  Its harmless though as NFTA_CHAIN_TYPE is
NLA_NUL_STR so the erroneous fmt could also be changed to plain %s.

I think we can change that to NLA_STRING to make it consistent with
other attributes. libnftnl is anyway sending the nul-termination all
the time, so nothing should break IMO.

Right, but the kernel shouldn't rely on that :)

I see no problem converting it to NLA_STRING (if request_module args are
fixed).
