95 * Validates all attributes in the specified attribute stream against the

97 * ignored. See documenation of struct nla_policy for more details.
99 * Returns 0 on success or a negative error code.

127 * exceeding maxtype will be silently ignored for backwards compatibility
128 * reasons. policy may be set to NULL if no validation is required.
