3.19.8-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roland Dreier <roland at purestorage.com>

Backports of 41fc014332d9 ("fib_rules: fix fib rule dumps across
multiple skbs") introduced a regression in "ip rule show" - it ends up
dumping the first rule over and over and never exiting, because 3.19
and earlier are missing commit 053c095a82cf ("netlink: make
nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void"), so fib_nl_fill_rule() ends up
returning skb->len (i.e. > 0) in the success case.

Fix this by checking the return code for < 0 instead of != 0.
