[PATCH net-next v2 02/10] neighbour: Use nlmsg_payload in neightbl_valid_dump_info
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Mon Apr 14 2025 - 09:25:22 EST
Update neightbl_valid_dump_info function to utilize the new
nlmsg_payload() helper function.
This change improves code clarity and safety by ensuring that the
Netlink message payload is properly validated before accessing its data.
