[PATCH 0/2] netlink: Bounds-check struct nlmsgerr creation

[Kees Cook]

Hi,

In order to avoid triggering the coming runtime memcpy() bounds checking,
the length of the destination needs to be "visible" to the compiler in
some way. However, netlink is constructed in a rather hidden fashion,
and my attempts to wrangle it have resulted in this series, which perform
explicit bounds checking before using unsafe_memcpy().
