Wait, a couple of comments.

I think it's better to hit netlink_abi_error() error. If validation
fails, it means someone in the kernel has accidentally changed the
size/type of this attribute. This it's basically breaking the ABI.
Better bail out here so people come to us so we quickly fix this.

What is maximum process name length? If we hit this bound, we have to
make sure this does:

                        name[X - 1] = '\0';

Where X is the name buffer size.

Please, prepend '#' to this message.
