3.5.7.2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Cyrill Gorcunov <[email protected]> commit cacb6ba0f36ab14a507f4ee7697e8332899015d2 upstream. We've observed that in case if UDP diag module is not supported in kernel the netlink returns NLMSG_DONE without notifying a caller that handler is missed. This patch makes __inet_diag_dump to return error code instead. So as example it become possible to detect such situation and handle it gracefully on userspace level.
