commit a215b5723922f8099078478122f02100e489cb80 upstream. Commit under Fixes tightened up the memory accounting for Netlink sockets. Looks like the accounting is too strict for some existing use cases, Marek reported issues with nl80211 / WiFi iw CLI. To reduce number of iterations Netlink dumps try to allocate messages based on the size of the buffer passed to previous recvmsg() calls. If user space uses a larger buffer in recvmsg() than sk_rcvbuf we will allocate an skb we won't be able to queue. Make sure we always allow at least one skb to be queued. Same workaround is already present in netlink_attachskb(). Alternative would be to cap the allocation size to rcvbuf - rmem_alloc but as I said, the workaround is already present in other places.

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.
