From 60b28d5ef3e3880a180bdbf69a3956fcb33d6e99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Dichtel Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 14:48:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: ensure to loop over all netns in genlmsg_multicast_allns() [ Upstream commit cb9f7a9a5c96a773bbc9c70660dc600cfff82f82 ] Nowadays, nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH but this was not the case when commit 134e63756d5f was pushed. However, there was no reason to stop the loop if a netns does not have listeners. Returns -ESRCH only if there was no listeners in all netns. To avoid having the same problem in the future, I didn't take the assumption that nlmsg_multicast() returns only 0 or -ESRCH.
