Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
365f9ae4ee
If the genlmsg_put() call in ethnl_default_dumpit() fails, we bail out
without checking if we already have some messages in current skb like we do
with ethnl_default_dump_one() failure later. Therefore if existing messages
almost fill up the buffer so that there is not enough space even for
netlink and genetlink header, we lose all prepared messages and return and
error.
Rather than duplicating the skb->len check, move the genlmsg_put(),
genlmsg_cancel() and genlmsg_end() calls into ethnl_default_dump_one().
This is also more logical as all message composition will be in
ethnl_default_dump_one() and only iteration logic will be left in
ethnl_default_dumpit().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
