-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Thomas Graf "return -err" and blindly inheriting the error code in the netlink failure exception handler causes errors codes to be returned as positive value therefore making them being ignored by the caller. May lead to sending out incomplete netlink messages. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S.
