From c702e8047fe74648f7852a9c1de781b0d5a98402 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 23:30:55 -0700 Subject: [NETLINK]: Directly return -EINTR from netlink_dump_start() Now that all users of netlink_dump_start() use netlink_run_queue() to process the receive queue, it is possible to return -EINTR from netlink_dump_start() directly, therefore simplying the callers.
