+Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Add NLA_F_NESTED flag to nested attribute
+
+The mainline kernel v5.2 commit b424e432e770
+("netlink: add validation of NLA_F_NESTED flag") imposes strict validation
+against nested attribute as follow.
+
+"
+Add new validation flag NL_VALIDATE_NESTED which adds three consistency
+checks of NLA_F_NESTED_FLAG:
+
+  - the flag is set on attributes with NLA_NESTED{,_ARRAY} policy
+  - the flag is not set on attributes with other policies except NLA_UNSPEC
+  - the flag is set on attribute passed to nla_parse_nested()
+"
+
+Sending messages with nested attribute without NLA_F_NESTED would cause failed
+validation. For example,
+
+$ drbdsetup new-resource r0
+Invalid argument
+
+This patch adds NLA_F_NESTED flag to all nested attributes.
