This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nfnetlink: nfnetlink_unicast() reports EAGAIN instead of ENOBUFS to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: netfilter-nfnetlink-nfnetlink_unicast-reports-eagain.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f02b52e37da916dac84f3a08d78e69a1baabbbb2 Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Aug 23 13:55:36 2020 +0200 netfilter: nfnetlink: nfnetlink_unicast() reports EAGAIN instead of ENOBUFS [ Upstream commit ee921183557af39c1a0475f982d43b0fcac25e2e ] 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.
