From c97426ec649d99596d8969e1a052c16b14b7b485 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daehyeon Ko <4ncienth@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 14:29:23 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: do not warn on route notification size race fib6_info_hw_flags_set() sizes the skb with rt6_nlmsg_size() and later fills it with rt6_fill_node(). With nexthop compatibility mode enabled, a concurrent replacement can grow the group between these independent snapshots. rt6_fill_node() can then legitimately return -EMSGSIZE, so the warning does not prove a sizing bug. Remove the warning. The existing error path still frees the skb and reports the error to listeners.
