Subject: drbd: Don't use empty nested netlink attributes
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c75b9b10e7f09bbf9660dd20a675e0a8069bd529;p=linux-beck.git

drbd: Don't use empty nested netlink attributes

Before mainline commit ea5693cc (v2.6.29-rc1), empty nested netlink attributes
were not allowed.  Fix that by leaving out nested attributes if they are empty
and by allowing the top-level attributes to be missing.
