[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 65/68] netdev: let netlink core handle -EMSGSIZE errors

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Mar 29 2024 - 08:46:17 EST


From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0b11b1c5c320555483e8a94c44549db24c289987 ]

Previous change added -EMSGSIZE handling to af_netlink, we don't
have to hide these errors any longer.

Theoretically the error handling changes from:
if (err == -EMSGSIZE)
to
if (err == -EMSGSIZE && skb->len)

everywhere, but in practice it doesn't matter.
All messages fit into NLMSG_GOODSIZE, so overflow of an empty
skb cannot happen.
