From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d34367991933d28bd7331f67a759be9a8c474014 ] rtnl_fill_statsinfo() is filling skb with one mandatory if_stats_msg structure. nlmsg_put(skb, pid, seq, type, sizeof(struct if_stats_msg), flags); But if_nlmsg_stats_size() never considered the needed storage. This bug did not show up because alloc_skb(X) allocates skb with extra tailroom, because of added alignments. This could very well be changed in the future to have deterministic behavior.
