[PATCH 3.2 029/221] rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARY

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.69-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 364d5716a7adb91b731a35765d369602d68d2881 upstream.

ifla_vf_policy[] is wrong in advertising its individual member types as
NLA_BINARY since .type = NLA_BINARY in combination with .len declares the
len member as *max* attribute length [0, len].

The issue is that when do_setvfinfo() is being called to set up a VF
through ndo handler, we could set corrupted data if the attribute length
is less than the size of the related structure itself.

The intent is exactly the opposite, namely to make sure to pass at least
data of minimum size of len.
