[ Upstream commit fa0e21fa44 ]
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.
