Subject: [PATCH 5.4 20/41] tools/accounting/getdelays.c: fix netlink attribute length
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2020 14:09:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200411115505.474005814@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200411115504.124035693@linuxfoundation.org>

From: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org>

commit 4054ab64e29bb05b3dfe758fff3c38a74ba753bb upstream.

A recent change to the netlink code: 6e237d099fac ("netlink: Relax attr
validation for fixed length types") logs a warning when programs send
messages with invalid attributes (e.g., wrong length for a u32).  Yafang
reported this error message for tools/accounting/getdelays.c.

send_cmd() is wrongly adding 1 to the attribute length.  As noted in
include/uapi/linux/netlink.h nla_len should be NLA_HDRLEN + payload
length, so drop the +1.

Fixes: 9e06d3f9f6b1 ("per task delay accounting taskstats interface: documentation fix")
