Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Change rtnl_dump_done to always show error

    netlink: Change rtnl_dump_done to always show error

    The original code which became rtnl_dump_done only shows netlink errors
    if the protocol is NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG, but netlink dumps always appends
    the length which contains any error encountered during the dump. Update
    rtnl_dump_done to always show the error if there is one.

    As an *example* without this patch, dumping a route object that exceeds
    the internal buffer size terminates with no message to the user -- the
    dump just ends because the NLMSG_DONE attribute was received. With this
    patch the user at least gets a message that the dump was aborted.

    $ ip ro ls
    default via 10.0.2.2 dev eth0
    10.0.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.15
    10.10.0.0/16 dev veth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.0.1
    172.16.1.0/24 dev br0.11 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.1
    Error: Buffer too small for object
    Dump terminated

    The point of this patch is to notify the user of a failure versus
    silently exiting on a partial dump. Because the NLMSG_DONE attribute
    was received, the entire dump needs to be restarted to use a larger
    buffer for EMSGSIZE errors. That could be done automatically but it
    has other user impacts (e.g., duplicate output if the dump is
    restarted) and should be the subject of a different patch.
