netfilter: nfnetlink: nfnetlink_unicast() reports EAGAIN instead of ENOBUFS
Frontend callback reports EAGAIN to nfnetlink to retry a command, this is used to signal that module autoloading is required. Unfortunately, nlmsg_unicast() reports EAGAIN in case the receiver socket buffer gets full, so it enters a busy-loop. This patch updates nfnetlink_unicast() to turn EAGAIN into ENOBUFS and to use nlmsg_unicast(). Remove the flags field in nfnetlink_unicast() since this is always MSG_DONTWAIT in the existing code which is exactly what nlmsg_unicast() passes to netlink_unicast() as parameter. Fixes: 96518518cc41 ("netfilter: add nftables") Reported-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
