Subject: rtnetlink: Fix VF IFLA policy
From: Greg Rose <[email protected]>
commit 48752f6513012a1b078da08b145d5c40a644f058 upstream.
Add VF spoof check to IFLA policy. The original patch I submitted to
add the spoof checking feature to rtnl failed to add the proper policy
rule that identifies the data type and len. This patch corrects that
oversight. No bugs have been reported against this but it may cause
some problem for the netlink message parsing that uses the policy
table.
