Subject: [NETLINK] genetlink: Fix bugs spotted by Andrew Morton.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc4~108
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e200bd8065e4db6297cd8db071a9188cf9aa6b56;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[NETLINK] genetlink: Fix bugs spotted by Andrew Morton.

- panic() doesn't return.

- Don't forget to unlock on genl_register_family() error path

- genl_rcv_msg() is called via pointer so there's no point in declaring it
  `inline'.

Notes:

genl_ctrl_event() ignores the genlmsg_multicast() return value.

lots of things ignore the genl_ctrl_event() return value.
