From 5fac9b7c16c50c6c7699517f582b56e3743f453a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2023 09:52:29 +0200 Subject: netlink: allow be16 and be32 types in all uint policy checks __NLA_IS_BEINT_TYPE(tp) isn't useful. NLA_BE16/32 are identical to NLA_U16/32, the only difference is that it tells the netlink validation functions that byteorder conversion might be needed before comparing the value to the policy min/max ones. After this change all policy macros that can be used with UINT types, such as NLA_POLICY_MASK() can also be used with NLA_BE16/32. This will be used to validate nf_tables flag attributes which are in bigendian byte order.
