    decnet: Parse netlink attributes on our own · 58d7d8f9
    Thomas Graf authored
    decnet is the only subsystem left that is relying on the global
    netlink attribute buffer rta_buf. It's horrible design and we
    want to get rid of it.
    
    This converts all of decnet to do implicit attribute parsing. It
    also gets rid of the error prone struct dn_kern_rta.
    
    Yes, the fib_magic() stuff is not pretty.
    
    It's compiled tested but I need someone with appropriate hardware
    to test the patch since I don't have access to it.
