2.6.22-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Patrick McHardy [NETLINK]: Fix unicast timeouts [ Upstream commit: c3d8d1e30cace31fed6186a4b8c6b1401836d89c ] Commit ed6dcf4a in the history.git tree broke netlink_unicast timeouts by moving the schedule_timeout() call to a new function that doesn't propagate the remaining timeout back to the caller. This means on each retry we start with the full timeout again. ipc/mqueue.c seems to actually want to wait indefinitely so this behaviour is retained.
