+ * @validation_type: type of attribute validation done in addition to
+ *	type-specific validation (e.g. range, function call), see
+ *	&enum nla_policy_validation
+ * @len: Type specific length of payload
+ *
+ * Policies are defined as arrays of this struct, the array must be
+ * accessible by attribute type up to the highest identifier to be expected.
+ *
+ * Meaning of `len' field:
+ *    NLA_STRING           Maximum length of string
+ *    NLA_NUL_STRING       Maximum length of string (excluding NUL)
+ *    NLA_FLAG             Unused
+ *    NLA_BINARY           Maximum length of attribute payload
+ *                         (but see also below with the validation type)
+ *    NLA_NESTED,
+ *    NLA_NESTED_ARRAY     Length verification is done by checking len of
+ *                         nested header (or empty); len field is used if
+ *                         nested_policy is also used, for the max attr
+ *                         number in the nested policy.

+ *    NLA_S32, NLA_S64,
+ *    NLA_BE16, NLA_BE32,
+ *    NLA_MSECS            Leaving the length field zero will verify the
+ *                         given type fits, using it verifies minimum length
+ *                         just like "All other"
+ *    NLA_BITFIELD32       Unused
+ *    NLA_REJECT           Unused
+ *    All other            Minimum length of attribute payload
+ *
+ * Meaning of validation union:
+ *    NLA_BITFIELD32       This is a 32-bit bitmap/bitselector attribute and
+ *                         `bitfield32_valid' is the u32 value of valid flags
+ *    NLA_REJECT           This attribute is always rejected and `reject_message'
+ *                         may point to a string to report as the error instead
+ *                         of the generic one in extended ACK.
+ *    NLA_NESTED           `nested_policy' to a nested policy to validate, must
+ *                         also set `len' to the max attribute number. Use the
+ *                         provided NLA_POLICY_NESTED() macro.
+ *                         Note that nla_parse() will validate, but of course not
+ *                         parse, the nested sub-policies.
+ *    NLA_NESTED_ARRAY     `nested_policy' points to a nested policy to validate,
+ *                         must also set `len' to the max attribute number. Use
+ *                         the provided NLA_POLICY_NESTED_ARRAY() macro.
+ *                         The difference to NLA_NESTED is the structure:
+ *                         NLA_NESTED has the nested attributes directly inside
+ *                         while an array has the nested attributes at another
+ *                         level down and the attribute types directly in the
+ *                         nesting don't matter.
+ *    NLA_U8,
+ *    NLA_U16,
+ *    NLA_U32,
+ *    NLA_U64,
+ *    NLA_BE16,
+ *    NLA_BE32,
+ *    NLA_S8,
+ *    NLA_S16,
+ *    NLA_S32,
+ *    NLA_S64              The `min' and `max' fields are used depending on the
+ *                         validation_type field, if that is min/max/range then
+ *                         the min, max or both are used (respectively) to check
+ *                         the value of the integer attribute.
+ *                         Note that in the interest of code simplicity and
+ *                         struct size both limits are s16, so you cannot
+ *                         enforce a range that doesn't fall within the range
+ *                         of s16 - do that using the NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE()
+ *                         or NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE_SIGNED() macros instead.
+ *                         Use the NLA_POLICY_MIN(), NLA_POLICY_MAX() and
+ *                         NLA_POLICY_RANGE() macros.
+ *    NLA_U8,
+ *    NLA_U16,
+ *    NLA_U32,
+ *    NLA_U64              If the validation_type field instead is set to
+ *                         NLA_VALIDATE_RANGE_PTR, `range' must be a pointer
+ *                         to a struct netlink_range_validation that indicates
+ *                         the min/max values.
+ *                         Use NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE().
+ *    NLA_S8,
+ *    NLA_S16,
+ *    NLA_S32,
+ *    NLA_S64              If the validation_type field instead is set to
+ *                         NLA_VALIDATE_RANGE_PTR, `range_signed' must be a
+ *                         pointer to a struct netlink_range_validation_signed
+ *                         that indicates the min/max values.
+ *                         Use NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE_SIGNED().
+ *
+ *    NLA_BINARY           If the validation type is like the ones for integers
+ *                         above, then the min/max length (not value like for
+ *                         integers) of the attribute is enforced.
+ *
+ *    All other            Unused - but note that it's a union
+ *
+ * Meaning of `validate' field, use via NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN:
+ *    NLA_BINARY           Validation function called for the attribute.
+ *    All other            Unused - but note that it's a union
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * static const u32 myvalidflags = 0xff231023;
+ *
+ * static const struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
+ * 	[ATTR_FOO] = { .type = NLA_U16 },

+ *	[ATTR_BAZ] = NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN(sizeof(struct mystruct)),
+ *	[ATTR_GOO] = NLA_POLICY_BITFIELD32(myvalidflags),
