See https://kernel.org/doc/html/next/userspace-api/netlink/intro.html#strict-checking

Hi @cgzones, thanks for the contribution! If I'm understanding this correctly, this basically is a toggle to validate all attributes for routing netlink even if they are not needed by the kernel for the given request, is that correct?

To the best of my knowledge, yes.
