I was looking into that in the past because of another rtnetlink dump
handler. See merge commit f8d3e0dc4b3a ("Merge branch
'nexthop-nexthop-dump-fixes'") and commit 913f60cacda7 ("nexthop: Fix
infinite nexthop dump when using maximum nexthop ID").

Basically, rtnetlink dump handlers always return a positive value if
some entries were filled in the skb to signal that more information
needs to be dumped, even if the dump is complete. I suspect this was
done to ensure that appending the NLMSG_DONE message will not fail, but
Jason fixed it in 2017 in commit 0642840b8bb0 ("af_netlink: ensure that
NLMSG_DONE never fails in dumps").

You can see that the dump is split across two buffers with only a single
netdev configured:

# strace -e sendto,recvmsg ip l

The fake sentinel ('last_dev->ifindex + 1') is needed so that in the
second invocation of the dump handler it will not fill anything and then
return zero to signal that the dump is complete.

The following diff avoids this inefficiency and returns zero when the
dump is complete:
