[RTNETLINK]: Add nested compat attribute ...
Add a nested compat attribute type that can be used to convert
attributes that contain a structure to nested attributes in a
backwards compatible way.
The attribute looks like this:
struct {
[ compat contents ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = total size,
.rta_type = type,
} rta;
struct old_structure struct;
[ nested top-level attribute ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = nest size,
.rta_type = type,
} nest_attr;
[ optional 0 .. n nested attributes ]
struct rtattr {
.rta_len = private attribute len,
.rta_type = private attribute typ,
} nested_attr;
struct nested_data data;
};
Since both userspace and kernel deal correctly with attributes that are
larger than expected old versions will just parse the compat part and
ignore the rest.
