From: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com>

Generic bitflags attribute content sent to the kernel by user.
With this netlink attr type the user can either set or unset a
flag in the kernel.

The value is a bitmap that defines the bit values being set
The selector is a bitmask that defines which value bit is to be
considered.

A check is made to ensure the rules that a kernel subsystem always
conforms to bitflags the kernel already knows about. i.e
if the user tries to set a bit flag that is not understood then
the _it will be rejected_.

In the most basic form, the user specifies the attribute policy as:
[ATTR_GOO] = { .type = NLA_BITFIELD32, .validation_data = &myvalidflags },

where myvalidflags is the bit mask of the flags the kernel understands.

If the user _does not_ provide myvalidflags then the attribute will
also be rejected.

Examples:
value = 0x0, and selector = 0x1
implies we are selecting bit 1 and we want to set its value to 0.

value = 0x2, and selector = 0x2
implies we are selecting bit 2 and we want to set its value to 1.

Checkpatch warns you about the line to long, please wrap it.

Btw, I did not see you reached a consensus with DavidA regarding this.
Did I miss it?

I pointed this out already. This weird.
You do *u32 = *u32, just with different name. Just use valid_flags_allowed
directly.

Fix all the comments in this function. Should be
	/* something */
with spaces in front and at the end.

Jiri,

This is getting exhausting, seriously.
I posted the code you are commenting one two days ago so i dont have to
repost.

On D. Ahern: I dont think we are disagreeing anymore on the need to
generalize the check. He is saying it should be a helper and I already
had the validation data; either works. I dont see the gapping need
to remove the validation data.

cheers,
jamal

I never disagreed on general code; I have always disagreed on validating
values as part of the policy check.

And I commented on the "*u32 = *u32" thing. But you ignored it. Pardon
me for mentioning that again now :/

You commented on *u32 assignment from *void which i fixed. I
intentionally selected the different assignment names to reflect
meaning. Had you commented earlier - although I would have found
it disagreable - I would have fixed that too. Jiri, you need to be
more tolerant so progress can be made at times.

With DavidA(reading his response) - the issue is one of taste.
Again either approach is fine. You can call helpers for every user
or make them invoked behind the scenes.
Again - like all your comments on code taste which I addressed, I
would have made that change if the comment had come in earlier. I got
exhausted. Imagine how a newbie corporate guy wouldve felt after this.

Yep, I don't understand why the function arg cannot have the desired
name right away. Also, I don't understand why you don't just have u32
instead of pointer as a local variable, if you really needed this local
variable. Ok, I admit that ":)" is probably not intuitive comment.
Will be more blunt next time.

I don't think so. I believe that it is really important that code can be
read nicely. If we don't do it, it will be just mess (like it is in lot
of net/sched/ places).

That's how it is.
