> if_nlmsg_size() overestimates the minimum allocation size of netlink > dump request (when called from rtnl_calcit()) or the size of the > message (when called from rtnl_getlink()). This is because > ext_filter_mask is not supported by rtnl_link_get_af_size() and > rtnl_link_get_size(). > > The over-estimation is significant when at least one netdev has many > VLANs configured (8 bytes for each configured VLAN). > > This patch-set "rightsizes" the protocol specific attribute size > calculation by propagating ext_filter_mask to rtnl_link_get_af_size() > and adding this a argument to get_link_af_size op in rtnl_af_ops. > > Bridge module already used filtering aware sizing for notifications. > br_get_link_af_size_filtered() is consistent with the modified > get_link_af_size op so it replaces br_get_link_af_size() in br_af_ops. > br_get_link_af_size() becomes unused and thus removed. > > Signed-off-by: Ronen Arad <ronen.a...@intel.com> Applied, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
