nfsd_genl_rpc_status_compose_msg() returns -ENOBUFS on nla_put failure without calling genlmsg_cancel(), leaving a partial message in the skb. The caller then propagates -ENOBUFS directly, which the netlink dump infrastructure treats as a fatal error, aborting the entire dump. The correct netlink dump convention is: - Cancel any partial message with genlmsg_cancel() - If prior messages were added to the skb (skb->len > 0), save the current iterator position and return skb->len to paginate - Only return a negative errno when no messages fit at all Fix compose_msg to cancel the partial message on all nla_put failure paths, and fix the caller to paginate when possible rather than returning a fatal error.
