Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:16:29 +0200	[thread overview]

Please note following potential bug was discovered by code review, and
my patch not even tested, please double check !

Thanks

[PATCH net-next-2.6] netlink: netlink_recvmsg() fix

commit 1dacc76d0014 
(net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks)
introduced a race condition on netlink, in case MSG_PEEK is used.

An skb given by skb_recv_datagram() might be shared, we must clone it
before any modification, or risk fatal corruption.
