 *
 * \section attr_sec Netlink Attributes
 * Netlink attributes allow for data chunks of arbitary length to be
 * attached to a netlink message. Each attribute is encoded with a
 * type and length field, both 16 bits, stored in the attribute header
 * preceding the attribute data. The main advantage of using attributes
 * over packing everything into the family header is that the interface
 * stays extendable as new attributes can supersede old attributes while
 * remaining backwards compatible. Also attributes can be defined optional
 * thus avoiding the transmission of unnecessary empty data blocks.
 * Special nested attributes allow for more complex data structures to
 * be transmitted, e.g. trees, lists, etc.
 *
 * While not required, netlink attributes typically follow the family
 * header of a netlink message and must be properly aligned to NLA_ALIGNTO:
 * @code
 *   +----------------+- - -+---------------+- - -+------------+- - -+
 *   | Netlink Header | Pad | Family Header | Pad | Attributes | Pad |
 *   +----------------+- - -+---------------+- - -+------------+- - -+
 * @endcode
 *
 * The actual attributes are chained together each separately aligned to
 * NLA_ALIGNTO. The position of an attribute is defined based on the
 * length field of the preceding attributes:
 * @code
 *   +-------------+- - -+-------------+- - -+------
 *   | Attribute 1 | Pad | Attribute 2 | Pad | ...
 *   +-------------+- - -+-------------+- - -+------
 *   nla_next(attr1)------^
 * @endcode
 *
 * The attribute itself consists of the attribute header followed by
 * the actual payload also aligned to NLA_ALIGNTO. The function nla_data()
 * returns a pointer to the start of the payload while nla_len() returns
 * the length of the payload in bytes.
 *
 * \b Note: Be aware, NLA_ALIGNTO equals to 4 bytes, therefore it is not
 * safe to dereference any 64 bit data types directly.
 *
 * @code
 *    <----------- nla_total_size(payload) ----------->
 *    <-------- nla_attr_size(payload) --------->
 *   +------------------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - +- - -+
 *   | Attribute Header | Pad |     Payload      | Pad |
 *   +------------------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - +- - -+

 *
 * @subsection attr_datatypes Attribute Data Types
 * A number of basic data types are supported to simplify access and
 * validation of netlink attributes. This data type information is
 * not encoded in the attribute, both the kernel and userspace part
 * are required to share this information on their own.
 *
 * One of the major advantages of these basic types is the automatic
 * validation of each attribute based on an attribute policy. The
 * validation covers most of the checks required to safely use
 * attributes and thus keeps the individual sanity check to a minimum.
 *
 * Never access attribute payload without ensuring basic validation
 * first, attributes may:
 * - not be present even though required
 * - contain less actual payload than expected
 * - fake a attribute length which exceeds the end of the message
 * - contain unterminated character strings
 *
 * Policies are defined as array of the struct nla_policy. The array is
 * indexed with the attribute type, therefore the array must be sized
 * accordingly.
 * @code
 * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 *      [ATTR_FOO] = { .type = ..., .minlen = ..., .maxlen = ... },
 * };
 *
 * err = nla_validate(attrs, attrlen, ATTR_MAX, &my_policy);
 * @endcode
 *
 * Some basic validations are performed on every attribute, regardless of type.
 * - If the attribute type exceeds the maximum attribute type specified or
 *   the attribute type is lesser-or-equal than zero, the attribute will
 *   be silently ignored.
 * - If the payload length falls below the \a minlen value the attribute
 *   will be rejected.
 * - If \a maxlen is non-zero and the payload length exceeds the \a maxlen
 *   value the attribute will be rejected.
 *
 *
 * @par Unspecific Attribute (NLA_UNSPEC)
 * This is the standard type if no type is specified. It is used for
 * binary data of arbitary length. Typically this attribute carries
 * a binary structure or a stream of bytes.
 * @par
 * @code
 * // In this example, we will assume a binary structure requires to
 * // be transmitted. The definition of the structure will typically
 * // go into a header file available to both the kernel and userspace
 * // side.
 * //
 * // Note: Be careful when putting 64 bit data types into a structure.
 * // The attribute payload is only aligned to 4 bytes, dereferencing
 * // the member may fail.
 * struct my_struct {
 *     int a;
 *     int b;
 * };
 *
 * // The validation function will not enforce an exact length match to
 * // allow structures to grow as required. Note: While it is allowed
 * // to add members to the end of the structure, changing the order or
 * // inserting members in the middle of the structure will break your
 * // binary interface.
 * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 *     [ATTR_MY_STRICT] = { .type = NLA_UNSPEC,
 *                          .minlen = sizeof(struct my_struct) },
 *
 * // The binary structure is appened to the message using nla_put()
 * struct my_struct foo = { .a = 1, .b = 2 };
 * nla_put(msg, ATTR_MY_STRUCT, sizeof(foo), &foo);
 *
 * // On the receiving side, a pointer to the structure pointing inside
 * // the message payload is returned by nla_get().
 * if (attrs[ATTR_MY_STRUCT])
 *     struct my_struct *foo = nla_get(attrs[ATTR_MY_STRUCT]);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Integers (NLA_U8, NLA_U16, NLA_U32, NLA_U64)
 * Integers come in different sizes from 8 bit to 64 bit. However, since the
 * payload length is aligned to 4 bytes, integers smaller than 32 bit are
 * only useful to enforce the maximum range of values.
 * @par
 * \b Note: There is no difference made between signed and unsigned integers.
 * The validation only enforces the minimal payload length required to store
 * an integer of specified type.
 * @par
 * @code
 * // Even though possible, it does not make sense to specify .minlen or
 * // .maxlen for integer types. The data types implies the corresponding
 * // minimal payload length.
 * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 *     [ATTR_FOO] = { .type = NLA_U32 },
 *
 * // Numeric values can be appended directly using the respective
 * // nla_put_uxxx() function
 * nla_put_u32(msg, ATTR_FOO, 123);
 *
 * // Same for the receiving side.
 * if (attrs[ATTR_FOO])
 *     uint32_t foo = nla_get_u32(attrs[ATTR_FOO]);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Character string (NLA_STRING)
 * This data type represents a NUL terminated character string of variable
 * length. For binary data streams the type NLA_UNSPEC is recommended.
 * @par
 * @code
 * // Enforce a NUL terminated character string of at most 4 characters
 * // including the NUL termination.
 * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 *     [ATTR_BAR] = { .type = NLA_STRING, maxlen = 4 },
 *
 * // nla_put_string() creates a string attribute of the necessary length
 * // and appends it to the message including the NUL termination.
 * nla_put_string(msg, ATTR_BAR, "some text");
 *
 * // It is safe to use the returned character string directly if the
 * // attribute has been validated as the validation enforces the proper
 * // termination of the string.
 * if (attrs[ATTR_BAR])
 *     char *text = nla_get_string(attrs[ATTR_BAR]);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Flag (NLA_FLAG)
 * This attribute type may be used to indicate the presence of a flag. The
 * attribute is only valid if the payload length is zero. The presence of
 * the attribute header indicates the presence of the flag.
 * @par
 * @code
 * // This attribute type is special as .minlen and .maxlen have no effect.
 * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 *     [ATTR_FLAG] = { .type = NLA_FLAG },
 *
 * // nla_put_flag() appends a zero sized attribute to the message.
 * nla_put_flag(msg, ATTR_FLAG);
 *
 * // There is no need for a receival function, the presence is the value.
 * if (attrs[ATTR_FLAG])
 *     // flag is present
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Micro Seconds (NLA_MSECS)
 *
 * @par Nested Attribute (NLA_NESTED)
 * Attributes can be nested and put into a container to create groups, lists
 * or to construct trees of attributes. Nested attributes are often used to
 * pass attributes to a subsystem where the top layer has no knowledge of the
 * configuration possibilities of each subsystem.
 * @par
 * \b Note: When validating the attributes using nlmsg_validate() or
 * nlmsg_parse() it will only affect the top level attributes. Each
 * level of nested attributes must be validated seperately using
 * nla_parse_nested() or nla_validate().
 * @par
 * @code
 * // The minimal length policy may be used to enforce the presence of at
 * // least one attribute.
 * static struct nla_policy my_policy[ATTR_MAX+1] = {
 *     [ATTR_OPTS] = { .type = NLA_NESTED, minlen = NLA_HDRLEN },
 *
 * // Nested attributes are constructed by enclosing the attributes
 * // to be nested with calls to nla_nest_start() respetively nla_nest_end().
 * struct nlattr *opts = nla_nest_start(msg, ATTR_OPTS);
 * nla_put_u32(msg, ATTR_FOO, 123);
 * nla_put_string(msg, ATTR_BAR, "some text");
 * nla_nest_end(msg, opts);
 *
 * // Various methods exist to parse nested attributes, the easiest being
 * // nla_parse_nested() which also allows validation in the same step.
 * if (attrs[ATTR_OPTS]) {
 *     struct nlattr *nested[ATTR_MAX+1];
 *
 *     nla_parse_nested(nested, ATTR_MAX, attrs[ATTR_OPTS], &policy);
 *
 *     if (nested[ATTR_FOO])
 *         uint32_t foo = nla_get_u32(nested[ATTR_FOO]);
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * @subsection attr_exceptions Exception Based Attribute Construction
 * Often a large number of attributes are added to a message in a single
 * function. In order to simplify error handling, a second set of
 * construction functions exist which jump to a error label when they
 * fail instead of returning an error code. This second set consists
 * of macros which are named after their error code based counterpart
 * except that the name is written all uppercase.
 *
 * All of the macros jump to the target \c nla_put_failure if they fail.
 * @code
 * void my_func(struct nl_msg *msg)
 * {
 *     NLA_PUT_U32(msg, ATTR_FOO, 10);
 *     NLA_PUT_STRING(msg, ATTR_BAR, "bar");
 *
 *     return 0;
 *
 * nla_put_failure:
