From 4a25201aa46ce88e8e31f9ccdec0e4e3dd6bb736 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2024 19:28:32 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] netdev-genl: avoid empty messages in napi get Empty netlink responses from do() are not correct (as opposed to dump() where not dumping anything is perfectly fine). We should return an error if the target object does not exist, in this case if the netdev is down we "hide" the NAPI instances.
