Michal Kubecek 460c03f3f3 iplink: double the buffer size also in iplink_get()
Commit 72b365e8e0 ("libnetlink: Double the dump buffer size") increased
the buffer size for "ip link show" command to 32 KB to handle NICs with
large number of VFs. With "dev" filter, a different code path is taken and
iplink_get() still uses only 16 KB buffer.

The size of 32768 is not very future-proof as NICs supporting 120-128 VFs
are already in use so that single RTM_NEWLINK message in the dump can
exceed 30000 bytes. But it's what rtnl_talk() and rtnl_dump_filter_l() use
so let's be consistent. Once this proves insufficient, all three sizes
should be increased.

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
