+/**
+ * GENLA_F_FLAGS - policy type flags to ease compatible ABI evolvement
+ *
+ * @GENLA_F_REQUIRED: attribute has to be present, or message is considered invalid.
+ * Adding new REQUIRED attributes breaks ABI compatibility, so don't do that.
+ *
+ * @GENLA_F_MANDATORY: if present, receiver _must_ understand it.
+ * Without this, unknown attributes (> maxtype) are _silently_ ignored
+ * by validate_nla().
+ *
+ * To be used for API extensions, so older kernel can reject requests for not
+ * yet implemented features, if newer userland tries to use them even though
+ * the genl_family version clearly indicates they are not available.
+ *
+ * @GENLA_F_MAY_IGNORE: To clearly document the fact, for good measure.
+ * To be used for API extensions for things that have sane defaults,
+ * so newer userland can still talk to older kernel, knowing it will
+ * silently ignore these attributes if not yet known.
+ *
+ * NOTE: These flags overload
+ * NLA_F_NESTED (1 << 15)
+ * NLA_F_NET_BYTEORDER (1 << 14)
+ * from linux/netlink.h, which are not useful for validate_nla():
+ * NET_BYTEORDER is not used anywhere, and NESTED would be specified by setting
+ * .type = NLA_NESTED in the appropriate policy.
+ *
+ * See also: nla_type()
