Subject: [PATCH 04/19] nfsd: fix netlink dumpit error handling for rpc_status_get
Date: Tue, 09 Jun 2026 13:47:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609-nfsd-testing-v1-4-e83acead2ae8@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609-nfsd-testing-v1-0-e83acead2ae8@kernel.org>
nfsd_genl_rpc_status_compose_msg() returns -ENOBUFS on nla_put failure
without calling genlmsg_cancel(), leaving a partial message in the skb.
The caller then propagates -ENOBUFS directly, which the netlink dump
infrastructure treats as a fatal error, aborting the entire dump.
The correct netlink dump convention is:
- Cancel any partial message with genlmsg_cancel()
- If prior messages were added to the skb (skb->len > 0), save the
current iterator position and return skb->len to paginate
- Only return a negative errno when no messages fit at all
Fix compose_msg to cancel the partial message on all nla_put failure
paths, and fix the caller to paginate when possible rather than
returning a fatal error.
Fixes: ac18892ea3f7 ("NFSD: add rpc_status netlink support")
