[PATCH 2/5] sockptr: fix usize check in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers

From: Stefan Metzmacher

Date: Tue Apr 07 2026 - 12:08:34 EST


copy_struct_from_user will never hit the check_zeroed_user() call
and will never return -E2BIG if new userspace passed new bits in a
larger structure than the current kernel structure.

As far as I can there are no critical/related uapi changes in

- include/net/bluetooth/bluetooth.h and net/bluetooth/sco.c
after the use of copy_struct_from_sockptr in v6.13-rc3
- include/uapi/linux/tcp.h and net/ipv4/tcp_ao.c
after the use of copy_struct_from_sockptr in v6.6-rc1

So that new callers will get the correct behavior from the start.

Fixes: 4954f17ddefc ("net/tcp: Introduce TCP_AO setsockopt()s")
Fixes: ef84703a911f ("net/tcp: Add TCP-AO getsockopt()s")
Fixes: faadfaba5e01 ("net/tcp: Add TCP_AO_REPAIR")
Fixes: 3e643e4efa1e ("Bluetooth: Improve setsockopt() handling of malformed user input")
