In general, rtnetlink dumps do not anticipate failure to dump a single object (e.g., link or route) on a single pass. As both route and link objects have grown via more attributes, that is no longer a given. netlink dumps can handle a failure if the dump function returns an error; specifically, netlink_dump adds the return code to the response if it is <= 0 so userspace is notified of the failure. The missing piece is the rtnetlink dump functions returning the error. Fix route and link dump functions to return the errors if no object is added to an skb (detected by skb->len != 0). IPv6 route dumps (rt6_dump_route) already return the error; this patch updates IPv4 and link dumps. Other dump functions may need to be ajusted as well.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
