Subject: netlink: Improve returned error codes
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc5~1^2~21
X-Git-Url: https://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?p=net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=bc3ed28caaef55e7e3a9316464256353c5f9b1df

netlink: Improve returned error codes

Make nlmsg_trim(), nlmsg_cancel(), genlmsg_cancel(), and
nla_nest_cancel() void functions.

Return -EMSGSIZE instead of -1 if the provided message buffer is not
big enough.
