tcp_sack_swap seems unnecessary so I pushed swap to the caller.
Also removed comment that seemed then pointless, and added include
when not already there. Compile tested.

Protocols that use packet_type can be __read_mostly section for better
locality. Elminate any unnecessary initializations of NULL.

<title>netlink: change nlmsg_notify() return value logic</title>
<updated>2009-02-25T07:18:28+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=1ce85fe402137824246bad03ff85f3913d565c17'/>
<id>1ce85fe402137824246bad03ff85f3913d565c17</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:

If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that
requested a change with the echo flag, return the result of the
unicast notification. Thus, with this patch, the unicast
notification is handled in the same way of a broadcast listener
that has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket flag.

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

Pass netns to xfrm_lookup()/__xfrm_lookup(). For that pass netns
to flow_cache_lookup() and resolver callback.

Take it from socket or netdevice. Stub DECnet to init_net.
