RDMA/netlink: Do not always generate an ACK for some netlink operations

RDMA/netlink: Do not always generate an ACK for some netlink operations

commit a242c36951ecd24bc16086940dbe6b522205c461 upstream.

In rdma_nl_rcv_skb(), the local variable err is assigned the return value
of the supplied callback function, which could be one of
ib_nl_handle_resolve_resp(), ib_nl_handle_set_timeout(), or
ib_nl_handle_ip_res_resp(). These three functions all return skb->len on
success.

rdma_nl_rcv_skb() is merely a copy of netlink_rcv_skb(). The callback
functions used by the latter have the convention: "Returns 0 on success or
a negative error code".

In particular, the statement (equal for both functions):

   if (nlh->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_ACK || err)

implies that rdma_nl_rcv_skb() always will ack a message, independent of
the NLM_F_ACK being set in nlmsg_flags or not.

The fix could be to change the above statement, but it is better to keep
the two *_rcv_skb() functions equal in this respect and instead change the
three callback functions in the rdma subsystem to the correct convention.
