Bug ID: 198353
Summary: Generic netlink family bug when multicast groups are
greater than 13
Product: Networking
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 4.4
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: blocking
Priority: P1
Component: Other
Assignee: stephen@networkplumber.org

linux-4.4-netlink-genlmcgroup.patch
Kernel Version: 4.4
File: netlink/genetlink.c
While reserving multicast groups for a netlink family in the kernel, if the
request has more than 13 groups the code allocates only 13 groups and returns
success.
In the function "genl_allocate_reserve_groups" the variable "id" is returned
with the first available multicast group slot but it doesn't check if the
request "n_groups" is more than 13.
Attached patch fixes the problem.
