netlink: Treat send() or recv() errors as fatal
Errors on send() or recv() calls on a netlink socket don't indicate errors with the netlink operations we're attempting, but rather that something's gone wrong with the mechanics of netlink itself. We don't really expect this to ever happen, and if it does, it's not clear what we could to to recover. So, treat errors from these calls as fatal, rather than returning the error up the stack. This makes handling failures in the callers of nl_req() simpler. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
