Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
a0de1cd356
Perform header flags validation through the policy. Only pause command supports ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS. Create a separate policy to be able to express that in policy dumps to user space. Note that even though the core will validate the header policy, it cannot record multiple layers of attributes and we have to re-parse header sub-attrs. When doing so we could skip attribute validation, or use most permissive policy. Opt for the former. We will no longer return the extack cookie for flags but since we only added first new flag in this release it's not expected that any user space had a chance to make use of it. v2: - remove the re-validation in ethnl_parse_header_dev_get() Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
