[PATCH 5.17 0540/1126] libbpf: Use dynamically allocated buffer when receiving netlink messages

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9c3de619e13ee6693ec5ac74f50b7aa89056a70e ]

When receiving netlink messages, libbpf was using a statically allocated
stack buffer of 4k bytes. This happened to work fine on systems with a 4k
page size, but on systems with larger page sizes it can lead to truncated
messages. The user-visible impact of this was that libbpf would insist no
XDP program was attached to some interfaces because that bit of the netlink
message got chopped off.

Fix this by switching to a dynamically allocated buffer; we borrow the
approach from iproute2 of using recvmsg() with MSG_PEEK|MSG_TRUNC to get
the actual size of the pending message before receiving it, adjusting the
buffer as necessary. While we're at it, also add retries on interrupted
system calls around the recvmsg() call.

v2:
  - Move peek logic to libbpf_netlink_recv(), don't double free on ENOMEM.
