FROMGIT: Revert "net: af_key: add check for pfkey_broadcast in functi…
…on pfkey_process" This reverts commit 4dc2a5a8f6754492180741facf2a8787f2c415d7. A non-zero return value from pfkey_broadcast() does not necessarily mean an error occurred as this function returns -ESRCH when no registered listener received the message. In particular, a call with BROADCAST_PROMISC_ONLY flag and null one_sk argument can never return zero so that this commit in fact prevents processing any PF_KEY message. One visible effect is that racoon daemon fails to find encryption algorithms like aes and refuses to start. Excluding -ESRCH return value would fix this but it's not obvious that we really want to bail out here and most other callers of pfkey_broadcast() also ignore the return value. Also, as pointed out by Steffen Klassert, PF_KEY is kind of deprecated and newer userspace code should use netlink instead so that we should only disturb the code for really important fixes. v2: add a comment explaining why is the return value ignored Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit 9c90c9b3e50e16d03c7f87d63e9db373974781e0 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec.git master) Test: TreeHugger, fixes failures in Android net-test wrt. pf_key.
