[PATCH net-next 9/9] net: fib_rules: Use nlmsg_payload in fib_valid_dumprule_req
Posted by Breno Leitao 8 months, 1 week ago
Leverage the new nlmsg_payload() helper to avoid checking for message
size and then reading the nlmsg data.

You can use it for fib_newrule() and fib_delrule() where
nlmsg_data() is prefetched.

Agree. the code becomes way more readable, and more looks like more
"net" code.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am adding an additional patch for this one.
