From c3d8d1e30cace31fed6186a4b8c6b1401836d89c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 02:42:09 -0800 Subject: [NETLINK]: Fix unicast timeouts Commit ed6dcf4a in the history.git tree broke netlink_unicast timeouts by moving the schedule_timeout() call to a new function that doesn't propagate the remaining timeout back to the caller. This means on each retry we start with the full timeout again. ipc/mqueue.c seems to actually want to wait indefinitely so this behaviour is retained.
