From ee921183557af39c1a0475f982d43b0fcac25e2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2020 13:55:36 +0200 Subject: netfilter: nfnetlink: nfnetlink_unicast() reports EAGAIN instead of ENOBUFS Frontend callback reports EAGAIN to nfnetlink to retry a command, this is used to signal that module autoloading is required. Unfortunately, nlmsg_unicast() reports EAGAIN in case the receiver socket buffer gets full, so it enters a busy-loop. This patch updates nfnetlink_unicast() to turn EAGAIN into ENOBUFS and to use nlmsg_unicast(). Remove the flags field in nfnetlink_unicast() since this is always MSG_DONTWAIT in the existing code which is exactly what nlmsg_unicast() passes to netlink_unicast() as parameter.
