David,

Since this was applied to iproute2-next I get:

bash-4.4# bridge/bridge fdb show                                                                                                                                            
[ 5365.137224] netlink: 4 bytes leftover after parsing attributes in process `bridge'.
Error: bytes leftover after parsing attributes.
Dump terminated

And a lot of tests are failing. Given you enabled strict checking, I
assume we should be using 'struct ndmsg' in FDB dump? Following patch
fixes it for me. I can submit formally if you don't already have a
patch.
