[PATCH] ipchains bugs in 2.2/2.4/2.5 related to netlink calls

[Alexander Atanasov <alex@xxxxxx>]

        Hi there!

oom-loop fixes error handling after a netlink failure - it does not do a
cleanup and it makes every next call to ip_fw_check to detect a
loop and drop the packet.

nlma fixes a call to netlink_broadcast with GFP_KERNEL ( passed to
skb_clone ) while we are in_interrupt() ( catched by a BUG() in
slab.c:1109 ).


2.4 patches apply to 2.5 too , tested on 2.5.15.
