The documentation uses \fI formatting for field names but the closing tags appear inconsistent. The text says 'family\fR', 'table\fR', and 'set\fR' which suggests these should be \fIfamily\fR, \fItable\fR, and \fIset\fR. Please verify the formatting is correct for the intended man page rendering.

The phrase 'client's IPv4 will be added' is missing the word 'address'. It should read 'client's IPv4 address will be added' for grammatical correctness.

The parsing logic does not validate that key and value are non-NULL before comparing them with strcmp. If the configuration string is malformed (e.g., 'family=' or '=value'), strtok_r could return NULL for either key or value, leading to undefined behavior when passed to strcmp. Add explicit NULL checks before the strcmp calls.

The nla_len field should be set to the actual attribute length (header + data), not the aligned payload length. According to netlink attribute conventions, nla_len should be sizeof(struct nlattr) + len (unaligned data length), not the aligned version. This could cause netlink parsing errors.

The l4_redirect_set flag is being set multiple times in the same function. When both ipset and nftables logic execute (lines 581-589 and 591-611), the flag will be set twice, which is redundant. Additionally, if both mechanisms are active and only one succeeds while the other fails, the flag state may be incorrect. Consider consolidating the flag setting to occur once after all redirect mechanisms have executed.

When parse_nftables_set_key_conf fails for a session-specific nftables config, the function silently falls back to the global config. This could mask configuration errors where an incorrect session-specific nftables string is provided. Consider logging a warning when the session-specific parsing fails but conf_l4_redirect_nftables_valid is true, to help administrators detect configuration issues.

This code adds braces around the single else-if statement for l4_redirect_table (lines 2541-2542), which improves consistency. However, the code would benefit from also adding braces to the l4_redirect_ipset block (lines 2543-2547) and being consistently applied throughout the function. Consider ensuring all else-if blocks in this context use braces for maintainability.

The snprintf calls do not check if the value string would overflow the fixed-size buffers (64 bytes for table and set). If a malicious or misconfigured RADIUS attribute provides an overly long table or set name, it will be silently truncated, potentially causing the nftables operation to target the wrong set. Consider validating the string length before copying, or at least logging a warning if truncation occurs.

The documentation states "Either 'ip' (IPv4) or 'inet' (IPv4+IPv6)" but the implementation only adds IPv4 addresses (in_addr_t). If 'inet' family is selected, it suggests IPv6 support which is misleading since only IPv4 addresses are being added to the set. Either update the documentation to clarify that only IPv4 addresses are added regardless of family, or add a warning/validation that rejects 'inet' family.

Missing buffer overflow protection: The code builds a netlink message into a fixed 4096-byte buffer without checking if operations exceed this limit. If the table name, set name, or nested attributes cause the message to exceed 4096 bytes, memory corruption will occur. While unlikely with typical names, this should be validated. Consider adding a check after each nlattr_put operation to ensure the message length hasn't exceeded the buffer size, or use the message length to detect overflow before sending.

Inconsistent trailing newlines: The file has two blank lines at the end (lines 277-278) instead of one. This is inconsistent with the style of other files in the project. Consider removing one blank line.

Potential buffer overflow: Using strlen(key->set)+1 and strlen(key->table)+1 could exceed the buffer bounds if these strings are exactly 64 characters (the buffer size defined in the struct). Since the buffers are size 64, the maximum safe string length is 63 characters plus null terminator. Consider adding validation to ensure the strings don't exceed 63 characters before calling nlattr_put, or use strnlen with a maximum of 63.

Inconsistent spacing: There's trailing whitespace at the end of this line. This is inconsistent with the rest of the codebase and should be removed for cleaner diffs.

Variable name collision: The local variable key in the parsing loop shadows the function parameter key. This makes the code confusing and could lead to bugs. Consider renaming the local variable to something like param_name or key_name to avoid this shadowing.

Inconsistent example value for attr-l4-redirect-nftables: The example shows #attr-l4-redirect-nftables=l4-redirect which is just a simple name string. However, based on the PR description and the code implementation, this should be a RADIUS attribute name that will contain the nftables set configuration string (e.g., "family=ip,table=filter,set=otherl4set"). The current example value is misleading. Consider updating it to something like #attr-l4-redirect-nftables=L4-Redirect-nftables to match the attribute name from the PR description.
