netfilter: nf_tables: validate the name size when possible
Currently, if the user add a stateful object with the name size exceed NFT_OBJ_MAXNAMELEN - 1 (i.e. 31), we truncate it down to 31 silently. This is not friendly, furthermore, this will cause duplicated stateful objects when the first 31 characters of the name is same. So limit the stateful object's name size to NFT_OBJ_MAXNAMELEN - 1. After apply this patch, error message will be printed out like this: # name_32=$(printf "%0.sQ" {1..32}) # nft add counter filter $name_32 <cmdline>:1:1-52: Error: Could not process rule: Numerical result out of range add counter filter QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Also this patch cleans up the codes which missing the name size limit validation in nftables.
