    bpftool: Fix a clang compilation warning · 8af50142
    Yonghong Song authored
    With clang compiler:
      make -j60 LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1  <=== compile kernel
      # build selftests/bpf or bpftool
      make -j60 -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
      make -j60 -C tools/bpf/bpftool LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
    the following compilation warning showed up,
      net.c:160:37: warning: comparison of integers of different signs: '__u32' (aka 'unsigned int') and 'int' [-Wsign-compare]
                    for (nh = (struct nlmsghdr *)buf; NLMSG_OK(nh, len);
                                                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      .../tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h:99:24: note: expanded from macro 'NLMSG_OK'
                               (nlh)->nlmsg_len <= (len))
                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^   ~~~
    
    In this particular case, "len" is defined as "int" and (nlh)->nlmsg_len is "unsigned int".
    The macro NLMSG_OK is defined as below in uapi/linux/netlink.h.
      #define NLMSG_OK(nlh,len) ((len) >= (int)sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) && \
                                 (nlh)->nlmsg_len >= sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) && \
                                 (nlh)->nlmsg_len <= (len))
    
    The clang compiler complains the comparision "(nlh)->nlmsg_len <= (len))",
    but in bpftool/net.c, it is already ensured that "len > 0" must be true.
    So theoretically the compiler could deduce that comparison of
    "(nlh)->nlmsg_len" and "len" is okay, but this really depends on compiler
    internals. Let us add an explicit type conversion (from "int" to "unsigned int")
    for "len" in NLMSG_OK to silence this warning right now.
