From b44d211e166b4b0dae8ce379f9d2e3ac164b5b60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Vagin Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 02:40:47 +0000 Subject: netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump() netlink_dump() may failed, but nobody handle its error. It generates output data, when a previous portion has been returned to user space. This mechanism works when all data isn't go in skb. If we enter in netlink_recvmsg() and skb is absent in the recv queue, the netlink_dump() will not been executed. So if netlink_dump() is failed one time, the new data never appear and the reader will sleep forever. netlink_dump() is called from two places: 1. from netlink_sendmsg->...->netlink_dump_start(). In this place we can report error directly and it will be returned by sendmsg(). 2. from netlink_recvmsg There we can't report error directly, because we have a portion of valid output data and call netlink_dump() for prepare the next portion. If netlink_dump() is failed, the socket will be mark as error and the next recvmsg will be failed. Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin Signed-off-by: David S.
