SELinux: Only return netlink error when we know the return is fatal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some of the SELinux netlink code returns a fatal error when the error might
actually be transient.  This patch just silently drops packets on
potentially transient errors but continues to return a permanant error
indicator when the denial was because of policy.
