In implementing the hoplimit and encaplimit properties, a question
regarding the pd_check interface popped up. Why does _every_
implementation of pd_check allocate the val_desc_t? They all do the
exact same thing, which is:
vdp = malloc(sizeof (val_desc_t));
if (vdp == NULL)
return (DLADM_STATUS_NOMEM);
I don't understand why the caller isn't doing that instead and passing in
a pre-allocated val_desc_t as the 4th argument. The caller already knows
how many to allocate, since it also passes in the val_cnt argument.
