[PATCH] netlink: trim skb to exact size to avoid MSG_TRUNC

From: Ronen Arad <hidden>
Date: 2015-10-13 01:15:45
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The available room in the skb allocated in netlink_dump for iproute2
show requests (e.g. "ip link [show]", "bridge [-c] vlan show") should
be trimmed to the exact size requested in order to avoid MSG_TRUNC flag
set in netlink_recvmg.
This was handled properly for small skb allocated when no interface has
many VLANs configured. This patch applies the same logic to larger skbs
which are allocated using the calculated min_dump_alloc size.
