Hi,
upstream commit 41fc014332d91ee90c32840bf161f9685b7fbf2b has a small flaw.
Before the patch, the loop in dump_rules (line 627 - 638, fib_rules.c) was
canceled if fib_nl_fill_rule returns a value less than zero, after the patch it
is canceled if fib_nl_fill_rule returns a nonzero value. But without errors
fib_nl_fill_rule will return skb-> len. So I thing the termination condition
should be "if (err < 0) break;" not "if (err) break;".
This error leads to OOM - Exceptions in our system with program "ip"! After
changing the code to "if (err < 0) break;" everything works fine.


Regards, Markus
