A simple one-line patch seems to solve the issue for me:

Title:
[ip link] Message truncated error for large number of passthrough VFs
Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've ran into an issue when creating a large number of virtual
functions on a SR-IOV capable device.
ip link show reports a message truncated error:
ip link show > /dev/null
Message truncated
Message truncated
Message truncated
A likely cause might be that when called in a system where the number
of PCIe Virtual Functions are more than 30 for a given Physical
Function, the netlink response is larger than 16K, meaning that a
message is truncated.
The issue is seen with Ubuntu14.04 and Ubuntu16.04.
A possible solution for the issue is to increase the size of the
receive buffer in libnetlink.c
