[ Upstream commit2beb6d2901] In commit4b1373de73("net: ipv6: addr: perform strict checks also for doit handlers") we add strict check for inet6_rtm_getaddr(). But we did the invalid header values check before checking if NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK is set. This may break backwards compatibility if user already set the ifm->ifa_prefixlen, ifm->ifa_flags, ifm->ifa_scope in their netlink code. I didn't move the nlmsg_len check because I thought it's a valid check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
