 * @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
 *    NLA_NESTED,
 *    NLA_NESTED_ARRAY     Length verification is done by checking len of
 *                         nested header (or empty); len field is used if
 *                         validation_data is also used, for the max attr
 *                         number in the nested policy.
 *    NLA_U8, NLA_U16,
 *    NLA_U32, NLA_U64,
 *    NLA_S8, NLA_S16,
 *    NLA_S32, NLA_S64,
 *    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
 *    NLA_EXACT_LEN        Attribute must have exactly this length, otherwise
 *                         it is rejected.
 *    NLA_EXACT_LEN_WARN   Attribute should have exactly this length, a warning
 *                         is logged if it is longer, shorter is rejected.
 *    All other            Minimum length of attribute payload
 *
 * Meaning of `validation_data' field:
 *    NLA_BITFIELD32       This is a 32-bit bitmap/bitselector attribute and
 *                         validation data must point to a u32 value of valid
 *                         flags
 *    NLA_REJECT           This attribute is always rejected and validation data
 *                         may point to a string to report as the error instead
 *                         of the generic one in extended ACK.
 *    NLA_NESTED           Points to a nested policy to validate, must also set
 *                         `len' to the max attribute number.
 *                         Note that nla_parse() will validate, but of course not
 *                         parse, the nested sub-policies.
 *    NLA_NESTED_ARRAY     Points to a nested policy to validate, must also set
 *                         `len' to the max attribute number. 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
 *                         attributes directly in the nesting don't matter.
 *    All other            Unused - but note that it's a union
 *
 * Meaning of `min' and `max' fields, use via NLA_POLICY_MIN, NLA_POLICY_MAX
 * and NLA_POLICY_RANGE:
 *    NLA_U8,
 *    NLA_U16,
 *    NLA_U32,
 *    NLA_U64,
 *    NLA_S8,
 *    NLA_S16,
 *    NLA_S32,
 *    NLA_S64              These are used depending on the validation_type
 *                         field, if that is min/max/range then the minimum,
 *                         maximum and 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 as usual in the code instead.
 *    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,
 *                         not compatible with use of the validation_data
 *                         as in NLA_BITFIELD32, NLA_REJECT, NLA_NESTED and
 *                         NLA_NESTED_ARRAY.
 *    All other            Unused - but note that it's a union
 *
 * Example:
 * static const struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 * 	[ATTR_FOO] = { .type = NLA_U16 },
 *	[ATTR_BAR] = { .type = NLA_STRING, .len = BARSIZ },
 *	[ATTR_BAZ] = { .len = sizeof(struct mystruct) },
 *	[ATTR_GOO] = { .type = NLA_BITFIELD32, .validation_data = &myvalidflags },
