If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Roman Kapl [ Upstream commit 5ae437ad5a2ed573b1ebb04e0afa70b8869f88dd ] So far, if the filter was too large to fit in the allocated skb, the kernel did not return any error and stopped dumping. Modify the dumper so that it returns -EMSGSIZE when a filter fails to dump and it is the first filter in the skb. If we are not first, we will get a next chance with more room. I understand this is pretty near to being an API change, but the original design (silent truncation) can be considered a bug. Note: The error case can happen pretty easily if you create a filter with 32 actions and have 4kb pages. Also recent versions of iproute try to be clever with their buffer allocation size, which in turn leads to Signed-off-by: Roman Kapl Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Acked-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
