H A D | rtnetlink.c | 025331df Thu Feb 16 18:56:11 CST 2017 Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> rtnl: don't account unused struct ifla_port_vsi in rtnl_port_size
When allocating rtnl dump messages, struct ifla_port_vsi is never dumped, so we can save header plus payload in rtnl_port_size(). Infact, attribute IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE and struct ifla_port_vsi are not used anywhere in the kernel. We only need to keep the nla policy should applications in user space be filling this out. Same NLA_BINARY issue exists as was fixed in 364d5716a7ad ("rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARY") and others, but then again IFLA_PORT_VSI_TYPE is not used anywhere, so just add a comment that it's unused.
