[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.

[GENETLINK]: Fix race in genl_unregister_mc_groups()

2007-07-24T22:32:46+00:00

family->mcast_groups is protected by genl_lock so it must
be held while accessing the list in genl_unregister_mc_groups().
Requires adding a non-locking variant of genl_unregister_mc_group().

[NETLINK]: negative groups in netlink_setsockopt

2007-07-18T09:07:51+00:00

Reading netlink_setsockopt it's not immediately clear why there isn't a
bug when you pass in negative numbers, the reason being that the >=
comparison is really unsigned although 'val' is signed because
nlk->ngroups is unsigned. Make 'val' unsigned too.
