From: Phil Sutter Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 18:57:28 +0000 (+0100) Subject: libnetlink: Double the dump buffer size X-Git-Tag: v4.5.0~4 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=72b365e8e0fd;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git libnetlink: Double the dump buffer size There have been reports about 'ip addr' printing "Message truncated" on systems with large numbers of VFs. Although I haven't been able to get my hands on hardware suitable to reproduce this, increasing the dump buffer has been reported to resolve the issue. For want of a better idea, just double the buffer size to 32k. Feels like this opportunistic buffer size selection is rather workarounding a design flaw in libnetlink or maybe even the netlink protocol itself.
