From ecdebbf0aedbedc96ee784046d06d0be8152d5a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2012 09:30:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: inet_diag -- Return error code if protocol handler is missed [ Upstream commit cacb6ba0f36ab14a507f4ee7697e8332899015d2 ] We've observed that in case if UDP diag module is not supported in kernel the netlink returns NLMSG_DONE without notifying a caller that handler is missed. This patch makes __inet_diag_dump to return error code instead. So as example it become possible to detect such situation and handle it gracefully on userspace level.
