3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Houcheng Lin <[email protected]> commit b51d3fa364885a2c1e1668f88776c67c95291820 upstream. The kernel should reserve enough room in the skb so that the DONE message can always be appended. However, in case of e.g. new attribute erronously not being size-accounted for, __nfulnl_send() will still try to put next nlmsg into this full skbuf, causing the skb to be stuck forever and blocking delivery of further messages. Fix issue by releasing skb immediately after nlmsg_put error and WARN() so we can track down the cause of such size mismatch.
