Perhaps we could just call recvmsg() with zero length to discard the message from the queue in this case. But it's not really a big problem, I guess. > + > + if (answer) > + *answer = buf; > + else > + free(buf); > + > + return len; > +} > + > int rtnl_dump_filter_l(struct rtnl_handle *rth, > const struct rtnl_dump_filter_arg *arg) > { > @@ -413,31 +469,18 @@ int rtnl_dump_filter_l(struct rtnl_handle *rth, > .msg_iov = &iov, > .msg_iovlen = 1, > }; > - char buf[32768]; > + char *buf; > int dump_intr = 0; > > - iov.iov_base = buf; > while (1) { > int status; > const struct rtnl_dump_filter_arg *a; > int found_done = 0; > int msglen = 0; > > - iov.iov_len = sizeof(buf); > - status = recvmsg(rth->fd, &msg, 0); > - > - if (status < 0) { > - if (errno == EINTR || errno == EAGAIN) > - continue; > - fprintf(stderr, "netlink receive error %s (%d)\n", > - strerror(errno), errno); > - return -1; > - } > - > - if (status == 0) { > - fprintf(stderr, "EOF on netlink\n"); > - return -1; > - } > + status = rtnl_recvmsg(rth->fd, &msg, &buf); > + if (status < 0) > + return status; > > if (rth->dump_fp) > fwrite(buf, 1, NLMSG_ALIGN(status), rth->dump_fp); > @@ -462,8 +505,10 @@ int rtnl_dump_filter_l(struct rtnl_handle *rth, > > if (h->nlmsg_type == NLMSG_DONE) { > err = rtnl_dump_done(h); > - if (err < 0) > + if (err < 0) { > + free(buf); > return -1; > + } > > found_done = 1; > break; /* process next filter */ > @@ -471,19 +516,23 @@ int rtnl_dump_filter_l(struct rtnl_handle *rth, > > if (h->nlmsg_type == NLMSG_ERROR) { > rtnl_dump_error(rth, h); > + free(buf); > return -1; > } > > if (!rth->dump_fp) { > err = a->filter(&nladdr, h, a->arg1); > - if (err < 0) > + if (err < 0) { > + free(buf); > return err; > + } > } > > skip_it: > h = NLMSG_NEXT(h, msglen); > } > } > + free(buf); We only free the last buffer returned by rtnl_recvmsg() this way.

IMHO > this free(buf) should be moved inside the loop. Do you mean the outside while loop or the for loop? I think we could not put it inside the for loop, because we may need the buf multi times based on arg. while (1) { status = rtnl_recvmsg(rth->fd, &msg, &buf); for (a = arg; a->filter; a++) { struct nlmsghdr *h = (struct nlmsghdr *)buf; while (NLMSG_OK(h, msglen)) { [...] skip_it: h = NLMSG_NEXT(h, msglen); } } free(buf); [...] } Thanks Hangbin

With commit 72b365e8e0fd ("libnetlink: Double the dump buffer size") we doubled the buffer size to support more VFs. But the VFs number is increasing all the time. Some customers even use more than 200 VFs now. We could not double it everytime when the buffer is not enough. Let's just not hard code the buffer size and malloc the correct number when running. Introduce function rtnl_recvmsg() to always return a newly allocated buffer. The caller need to free it after using.
