eb49653449 [NETLINK]: negative groups in netlink_setsockopt
Reading netlink_setsockopt it's not immediately clear why there isn't a
bug when you pass in negative numbers, the reason being that the >=
comparison is really unsigned although 'val' is signed because
nlk->ngroups is unsigned. Make 'val' unsigned too.

1d00a4eb42 [NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handler
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used
to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted
because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is
simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue()
deal with getting the queue right.

nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers
but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore
it can be removed there as well.

This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected
message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

This one touches just the most simple cases:

skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}()

ac57b3a9ce [NETLINK]: Don't attach callback to a going-away netlink socket
There is a race between netlink_dump_start() and netlink_release()
that can lead to the situation when a netlink socket with non-zero
callback is freed.

Here it is:

CPU1:                           CPU2
netlink_release():              netlink_dump_start():

                                sk = netlink_lookup(); /* OK */

netlink_remove();

spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
  ...
}
spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);

                                spin_lock(&nlk->cb_lock);
                                if (nlk->cb) { /* false */
                                         ...
                                }
                                nlk->cb = cb;
                                spin_unlock(&nlk->cb_lock);
                                ...
sock_orphan(sk);
/*
 * proceed with releasing
 * the socket
 */

The proposal it to make sock_orphan before detaching the callback
in netlink_release() and to check for the sock to be SOCK_DEAD in
netlink_dump_start() before setting a new callback.
