Commit under Fixes optimized the number of recv() calls needed during RTM_GETROUTE dumps, but we got multiple reports of applications hanging on recv() calls. Applications expect that a route dump will be terminated with a recv() reading an individual NLM_DONE message. Coalescing NLM_DONE is perfectly legal in netlink, but even tho reporters fixed the code in respective projects, chances are it will take time for those applications to get updated. So revert to old behavior (for now)? Old kernel (5.19): $ ./cli.py --dbg-small-recv 4096 --spec netlink/specs/rt_route.yaml \ --dump getroute --json '{"rtm-family": 2}' Recv: read 692 bytes, 11 messages nl_len = 68 (52) nl_flags = 0x22 nl_type = 24 ... nl_len = 60 (44) nl_flags = 0x22 nl_type = 24 Recv: read 20 bytes, 1 messages nl_len = 20 (4) nl_flags = 0x2 nl_type = 3 Before (6.9-rc2): $ ./cli.py --dbg-small-recv 4096 --spec netlink/specs/rt_route.yaml \ --dump getroute --json '{"rtm-family": 2}' Recv: read 712 bytes, 12 messages nl_len = 68 (52) nl_flags = 0x22 nl_type = 24 ... nl_len = 60 (44) nl_flags = 0x22 nl_type = 24 nl_len = 20 (4) nl_flags = 0x2 nl_type = 3 After: $ ./cli.py --dbg-small-recv 4096 --spec netlink/specs/rt_route.yaml \ --dump getroute --json '{"rtm-family": 2}' Recv: read 692 bytes, 11 messages nl_len = 68 (52) nl_flags = 0x22 nl_type = 24 ... nl_len = 60 (44) nl_flags = 0x22 nl_type = 24 Recv: read 20 bytes, 1 messages nl_len = 20 (4) nl_flags = 0x2 nl_type = 3 Reported-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240315124808.033ff58d@elisabethReported-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/02b50aae-f0e9-47a4-8365-a977a85975d3@ovn.org Fixes: 4ce5dc93 ("inet: switch inet_dump_fib() to RCU protection") Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Tested-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
