From 64beb8f3eb3c724add64ca3272915528e10213c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2007 22:59:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [TIPC]: Fix infinite loop in netlink handler The tipc netlink config handler uses the nlmsg_pid from the request header as destination for its reply. If the application initialized nlmsg_pid to 0, the reply is looped back to the kernel, causing hangup. Fix: use nlmsg_pid of the skb that triggered the request.
