====================
nexthop: Nexthop dump fixes
Patches #1 and #3 fix two problems related to nexthops and nexthop
buckets dump, respectively. Patch #2 is a preparation for the third
patch.
The pattern described in these patches of splitting the NLMSG_DONE to a
separate response is prevalent in other rtnetlink dump callbacks. I
don't know if it's because I'm missing something or if this was done
intentionally to ensure the message is delivered to user space. After
commit 0642840b8b ("af_netlink: ensure that NLMSG_DONE never fails in
dumps") this is no longer necessary and I can improve these dump
callbacks assuming this analysis is correct.
No regressions in existing tests:
# ./fib_nexthops.sh
[...]
Tests passed: 230
Tests failed: 0

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
