Description

This issue was created by maloo for Andreas Dilger <[e-mail]>

This issue relates to the following test suite run on sles12.5 clients:
https://testing.whamcloud.com/test_sets/258bf667-e863-4adb-af68-213f7877b909
https://testing.whamcloud.com/test_sets/e3b187ad-af69-4bd1-b43c-583da240aef3

test_43a failed with the following error:

lctl dl
BUG at file position attr.c:201:validate_nla
lctl: attr.c:201: validate_nla: Assertion `0' failed.

The same failure exists in a number of other subtests that also use "lctl dl":

• sanity: test_33i, test_104d, test_154d
• conf-sanity: test_43b, test_70c, test_91

It looks like the validate_nla() function is part of libnl (netlink), so very likely relates to the new usage of netlink in "lctl dl" to get the device list.
