Subject: [PATCH bpf] tools: bpftool: fix truncated netlink dumps
Date: Thu,  4 Dec 2025 17:18:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205011823.751868-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)

Netlink requires that the recv buffer used during dumps is at least
min(PAGE_SIZE, 8k) (see the man page). Otherwise the messages will
get truncated. Make sure bpftool follows this requirement, avoid
missing information on systems with large pages.

Fixes: 7084566a236f ("tools/bpftool: Remove libbpf_internal.h usage in bpftool")
