4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arthur Gautier <baloo@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7c1e8a3817c55d73b27cc29b84075999c8894179 ] This commit fixes a regression in AF_INET/RTM_GETADDR and AF_INET6/RTM_GETADDR. Before this commit, the kernel would stop dumping addresses once the first skb was full and end the stream with NLMSG_DONE(-EMSGSIZE). The error shouldn't be sent back to netlink_dump so the callback is kept alive. The userspace is expected to call back with a new empty skb. Changes from V1: - The error is not handled in netlink_dump anymore but rather in inet_dump_ifaddr and inet6_dump_addr directly as suggested by David Ahern. Fixes: d7e38611b81e ("net/ipv4: Put target net when address dump fails due to bad attributes") Fixes: 242afaa6968c ("net/ipv6: Put target net when address dump fails due to bad attributes") Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "David S .
