The following warning is seen when building netlink-dumps.

netlink-dumps.c: In function ‘dump_extack’:
../kselftest_harness.h:788:35: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized

Problem is that the loop which initializes 'ret' may exit early without
initializing the variable if recv() returns an error. Always initialize
'ret' to solve the problem.

I applied the other 3 networking changes.
Keyboard shortcuts
hback out one level
jnext message in thread
kprevious message in thread
ldrill in
