So far,\nit called nla_parse_nested() to parse the stream of nested attributes\nwhich was wrong, as nla_parse_nested() expects a container attribute\nas data which holds the attribute stream. It needs to call\nnla_parse() directly while pointing at the next possible alignment\npoint after the struct in the beginning of the attribute.\n\nWith this patch, I can no longer reproduce the reported leftover\nwarnings.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Graf \u003ctgraf@suug.ch\u003e\nAcked-by: Patrick McHardy \u003ckaber@trash.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: David S.
