            Bug ID: 198353
           Summary: Generic netlink family bug when multicast groups are
                    greater than 13

linux-4.4-netlink-genlmcgroup.patch

Kernel Version: 4.4
File: netlink/genetlink.c

While reserving multicast groups for a netlink family in the kernel, if the
request has more than 13 groups the code allocates only 13 groups and returns
success.

In the function "genl_allocate_reserve_groups" the variable "id" is returned
with the first available multicast group slot but it doesn't check if the
request "n_groups" is more than 13.

Attached patch fixes the problem.
