In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
allocates the maximum size expected for all possible attrs and adds
a sanity-check to make sure nothing gets out of sync.

Would you mind also adding check to nfnetlink_subsys_register, plus WARN()?
That way we'll see that NFTA_MAX_ATTR isn't large enough by virtue
of registration rather than actual use.
Other than that this looks fine to me.

This is very specific of nftables, there are other nf subsystems using
nfnetlink that may go over this maximum attribute value (grep from
"struct nfnetlink_subsystem").
To remove the VLA, I think we need an artificial maximum attribute
that reasonably large enough.

Oops, yes. I see that now.

git grep insanity:
$ for i in $(git grep -A10 'static .*struct nfnetlink_subsystem' | \
grep '\.cb\b' | awk '{print $NF}' | cut -d, -f1)
do git grep -A100 'static .*'"$i\b"; done | \
grep '\.attr_count\b' | awk -F= '{print $NF}' | \
sed -e 's/ //g' | cut -d, -f1 | sort -u
and manual counting gets me:
CTA_EXPECT_MAX 12
CTA_MAX 25
CTA_TIMEOUT_MAX 6
IPSET_ATTR_CMD_MAX 11
NFACCT_MAX 9
NFCTH_MAX 7
NFQA_CFG_MAX 6
NFQA_MAX 21
NFTA_CHAIN_MAX 10
NFTA_COMPAT_MAX 4
NFTA_OBJ_MAX 8
NFTA_RULE_MAX 10
NFTA_SET_ELEM_LIST_MAX 5
NFTA_SET_MAX 17
NFTA_TABLE_MAX 6
NFULA_CFG_MAX 7
NFULA_MAX 20
OSF_ATTR_MAX 2
How about 32?
As Florian suggested, I'll add the check in
nfnetlink_subsys_register() with a WARN().
