If asynchronous events are enabled for a particular netlink socket,
the notify function is called by the advance function. The notify
function creates and dispatches a km_event if a replay timeout occurred,
or at least replay_maxdiff packets have been received since the last
asynchronous event has been sent. The function is supposed to return if
neither of the two events were detected for a state, or replay_maxdiff
is equal to zero.
Replay_maxdiff is initialized in xfrm_state_construct to the value of
the xfrm.sysctl_aevent_rseqth (2 by default), and updated if for a state
if the netlink attribute XFRMA_REPLAY_THRESH is set.
If, however, replay_maxdiff is set to zero, then all of the three notify
implementations perform a break from the switch statement instead of
checking whether a timeout occurred, and -- if not -- return. As a
result an asynchronous event is generated for every replay update of a
state that has a zero replay_maxdiff value.
This patch modifies the notify functions such that they immediately
return if replay_maxdiff has the value zero, unless a timeout occurred.
