Summary
ipv4: do not warn on route notification size race
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: do not warn on route notification size race

Commit 680aea08e78c ("net: ipv4: Emit notification when fib hardware flags are changed") added asynchronous route notifications for hardware flag changes.

fib_alias_hw_flags_set() sizes the skb with fib_nlmsg_size() and later fills it with fib_dump_info() while holding only RCU. With nexthop compatibility mode enabled, a concurrent replacement can grow the group between these independent snapshots. fib_dump_info() 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.
