From 9abbffee861c6c56fce27e4eda96a10cf0de0f84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahide NAKAMURA Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 20:34:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [XFRM] STATE: Fix to respond error to get operation if no matching entry exists. When application uses XFRM_MSG_GETSA to get state entry through netlink socket and kernel has no matching one, the application expects reply message with error status by kernel. Kernel doesn't send the message back in the case of Mobile IPv6 route optimization protocols (i.e. routing header or destination options header). This is caused by incorrect return code "0" from net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c(xfrm_user_state_lookup) and it makes kernel skip to acknowledge at net/netlink/af_netlink.c(netlink_rcv_skb). This patch fix to reply ESRCH to application. Signed-off-by: Masahide NAKAMURA Signed-off-by: TAKAMIYA Noriaki Signed-off-by: David S.
