[PATCH 4.9 149/329] batman-adv: Ignore invalid batadv_iv_gw during netlink send

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 28 2018 - 10:28:49 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 10d570284258a30dc104c50787c5289ec49f3d23 ]

The function batadv_iv_gw_dump stops the processing loop when
batadv_iv_gw_dump_entry returns a non-0 return code. This should only
happen when the buffer is full. Otherwise, an empty message may be
returned by batadv_gw_dump. This empty message will then stop the netlink
dumping of gateway entries. At worst, not a single entry is returned to
userspace even when plenty of possible gateways exist.
