Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] netlink: specs: fou: local-v4 and peer-v4 are big endian
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 12:14:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904191412.3872344-3-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904191412.3872344-1-kuba@kernel.org>
fou_core.c uses nla_get_in_addr() / nla_put_in_addr() on both, i.e.
they are __be32, and port / peer-port in the same spec are already
annotated. Without byte-order YNL swaps them on little endian hosts.
The generated policy goes from NLA_U32 to NLA_BE32, which changes
nothing: lib/nlattr.c gives the two the same length in nla_attr_len[]
and the same range handling, and neither attribute has a range check.
