Is it possible that instead, the:
if (nlmsg_parse(resp, sizeof(struct nlmsghdr), tb, CTRL_CMD_MAX,
NULL) < 0)
should use CTRL_ATTR_MAX?
If I look at virNetDevSwitchdevFeature it has :
struct nlattr *tb[DEVLINK_ATTR_MAX + 1] = {NULL, };
and uses:
if (nlmsg_parse(resp, sizeof(struct genlmsghdr), tb,
DEVLINK_ATTR_MAX, NULL)
