Just noticed this: is there a particular reason for using only __u32
here? The others all seem to use __u64.

Maybe you should consider adding genl_dump_check_consistent() support
here, so userspace can figure out if the dump was really consistent, if
necessary.

To do this, you have to keep a global generation counter that changes
whenever this list changes (adding/removing macsec interfaces, I think)
and then set

	cb->seq = macsec_generation_counter;

at the beginning of this function, and call
genl_dump_check_consistent() for each message in the loop.

Btw, aren't you missing locking here for for_each_netdev()?
