I find the behavior of xa_for_each_start() slightly counter-intuitive. It doesn't end the iteration by making the index point after the last element. IOW calling xa_for_each_start() again after it "finished" will run the body of the loop for the last valid element, instead of doing nothing. This works fine for netlink dumps if they terminate correctly (i.e. coalesce or carefully handle NLM_DONE), but as we keep getting reminded legacy dumps are unlikely to go away. Fixing this generically at the xa_for_each_start() level seems hard - there is no index reserved for "end of iteration". ifindexes are 31b wide, tho, and iterator is ulong so for for_each_netdev_dump() it's safe to go to the next element.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
