Edwin Peer 2715617c2a rtnetlink: extend RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS to IFLA_VF_INFO
[ Upstream commit fa0e21fa44438a0e856d42224bfa24641d37b979 ]

This filter already exists for excluding IPv6 SNMP stats. Extend its
definition to also exclude IFLA_VF_INFO stats in RTM_GETLINK.

This patch constitutes a partial fix for a netlink attribute nesting
overflow bug in IFLA_VFINFO_LIST. By excluding the stats when the
requester doesn't need them, the truncation of the VF list is avoided.

While it was technically only the stats added in commit c5a9f6f0ab
("net/core: Add drop counters to VF statistics") breaking the camel's
back, the appreciable size of the stats data should never have been
included without due consideration for the maximum number of VFs
supported by PCI.

Fixes: 3b766cd832 ("net/core: Add reading VF statistics through the PF netdevice")
Fixes: c5a9f6f0ab ("net/core: Add drop counters to VF statistics")

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.
