tools/accounting/getdelays.c: fix netlink attribute length
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") Reported-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Tested-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: Shailabh Nagar <nagar@watson.ibm.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200327173111.63922-1-dsahern@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
