xfrm: do not leak ESRCH to user space
I noticed that, under certain conditions, ESRCH can be leaked from the xfrm layer to user space through sys_connect. In particular, this seems to happen reliably when the kernel fails to resolve a template either because the AF_KEY receive buffer being used by racoon is full or because the SA entry we are trying to use is in XFRM_STATE_EXPIRED state. However, since this could be a transient issue it could be argued that EAGAIN would be more appropriate. Besides this error code is not even documented in the man page for sys_connect (as of man-pages 3.07). Signed-off-by: Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao <fernando@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: David S.
