If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Helen Koike [ Upstream commit 22f8aa35964e8f2ab026578f45befc9605fd1b28 ] cmd->dumpit callback can return a negative errno, causing an infinite loop due to the while(len) condition. As the loop never terminates, genl_mutex is never released, and other tasks waiting on it starve in D state. Check dumpit's return value, propagate it and jump to err_out on error.
