+Subject: [PATCH] libnetlink: fix alignment of netlink messages
+
+An padding to align a message should not only be added between
+different attributes of a netlink message, but also at the end of the
+message to pad it to the correct size.
+
+Without this patch the following command does not work and returns an
+error code:
+ip link add type nlmon
+
+Without this ip from busybox sends this:
+sendmsg(3, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, nl_pid=0, nl_groups=00000000}, msg_namelen=12, msg_iov=[{iov_base={{len=45, type=0x10 /* NLMSG_??? */, flags=NLM_F_REQUEST|NLM_F_ACK|0x600, seq=1474057401, pid=0}, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\0\22\0\t\0\1nlmon"}, iov_len=45}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 45
+return value: 2
+
+The normal ip utile from iproute2 sends this:
+sendmsg(3, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, nl_pid=0, nl_groups=00000000}, msg_namelen=12, msg_iov=[{iov_base={{len=48, type=0x10 /* NLMSG_??? */, flags=NLM_F_REQUEST|NLM_F_ACK|0x600, seq=1473716938, pid=0}, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\0\22\0\t\0\1nlmon\0\0\0"}, iov_len=48}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 48
+return value: 0
+
+With this patch ip from busybox sends this:
+sendmsg(3, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, nl_pid=0, nl_groups=00000000}, msg_namelen=12, msg_iov=[{iov_base={{len=48, type=0x10 /* NLMSG_??? */, flags=NLM_F_REQUEST|NLM_F_ACK|0x600, seq=1473716908, pid=0}, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\0\22\0\t\0\1nlmon\0\0\0"}, iov_len=48}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 48
