Subject: netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b44d211e166b4b0dae8ce379f9d2e3ac164b5b60;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

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.
