A netlink dump callback can return a positive number to signal that more
information needs to be dumped or zero to signal that the dump is
complete. In the second case, the core netlink code will append the
NLMSG_DONE message to the skb in order to indicate to user space that
the dump is complete.
The nexthop dump callback always returns a positive number if nexthops
were filled in the provided skb, even if the dump is complete. This
means that a dump will span at least two recvmsg() calls as long as
nexthops are present. In the last recvmsg() call the dump callback will
not fill in any nexthops because the previous call indicated that the
dump should restart from the last dumped nexthop ID plus one.

# strace -e sendto,recvmsg -s 5 ip nexthop

This behavior is both inefficient and buggy. If the last nexthop to be
dumped had the maximum ID of 0xffffffff, then the dump will restart from
0 (0xffffffff + 1) and never end:
# ip nexthop add id $((2**32-1)) blackhole
# ip nexthop
id 4294967295 blackhole
id 4294967295 blackhole
[...]
Fix by adjusting the dump callback to return zero when the dump is
complete. After the fix only one recvmsg() call is made and the
NLMSG_DONE message is appended to the RTM_NEWNEXTHOP response:
# ip nexthop add id $((2**32-1)) blackhole
# strace -e sendto,recvmsg -s 5 ip nexthop
sendto(3, [[{nlmsg_len=24, nlmsg_type=RTM_GETNEXTHOP, nlmsg_flags=NLM_F_REQUEST|NLM_F_DUMP, nlmsg_seq=1691394080, nlmsg_pid=0}, {nh_family=AF_UNSPEC, nh_scope=RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE, nh_protocol=RTPROT_UNSPEC, nh_flags=0}], {nlmsg_len=0, nlmsg_type=0 /* NLMSG_??? */, nlmsg_flags=0, nlmsg_seq=0, nlmsg_pid=0}], 152, 0, NULL, 0) = 152

recvmsg(3, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, nl_pid=0, nl_groups=00000000}, msg_namelen=12, msg_iov=[{iov_base=[[{nlmsg_len=36, nlmsg_type=RTM_NEWNEXTHOP, nlmsg_flags=NLM_F_MULTI, nlmsg_seq=1691394080, nlmsg_pid=342}, {nh_family=AF_INET, nh_scope=RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE, nh_protocol=RTPROT_UNSPEC, nh_flags=0}, [[{nla_len=8, nla_type=NHA_ID}, 4294967295], {nla_len=4, nla_type=NHA_BLACKHOLE}]], [{nlmsg_len=20, nlmsg_type=NLMSG_DONE, nlmsg_flags=NLM_F_MULTI, nlmsg_seq=1691394080, nlmsg_pid=342}, 0]], iov_len=32768}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 56

Note that if the NLMSG_DONE message cannot be appended because of size
limitations, then another recvmsg() will be needed, but the core netlink
code will not invoke the dump callback and simply reply with a
NLMSG_DONE message since it knows that the callback previously returned
zero.
Add a test that fails before the fix:
# ./fib_nexthops.sh -t basic
[...]
TEST: Maximum nexthop ID dump [FAIL]
[...]
And passes after it:
# ./fib_nexthops.sh -t basic
[...]
TEST: Maximum nexthop ID dump [ OK ]
[...]
