[PATCH net 05/16] netfilter: nfnetlink: make OOM conditions fatal

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Date: 2026-06-19 11:55:10
Also in: netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds 

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

Batch support design attempts to process the entire batch, even
after a call has returned an error.  The advantage is that userspace
gets all errors in one go.

The disadvantages are:
 1. ->call() needs to cope with bad-state-due-to-previous-error
 2. One error can trigger a cascade of followup errors which
    can obfuscate the real problem.

Make -ENOMEM fatal, if we cannot allocate some object there is
a high chance we're going to report followup errors that are
nonsensical from userspace point of view.

Fixes: 0628b123c96d ("netfilter: nfnetlink: add batch support and use it from nf_tables")
