[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 155/156] net: compat: Update get_compat_msghdr() to match copy_msghdr_from_user() behaviour

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Apr 07 2015 - 18:54:56 EST


3.13.11-ckt19 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 91edd096e224941131f896b86838b1e59553696a ]

Commit db31c55a6fb2 (net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an
error) introduced the clamping of msg_namelen when the unsigned value
was larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage). This caused a
msg_namelen of -1 to be valid. The native code was subsequently fixed by
commit dbb490b96584 (net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen).

In addition, the native code sets msg_namelen to 0 when msg_name is
NULL. This was done in commit (6a2a2b3ae075 net:socket: set msg_namelen
to 0 if msg_name is passed as NULL in msghdr struct from userland) and
subsequently updated by 08adb7dabd48 (fold verify_iovec() into
copy_msghdr_from_user()).

This patch brings the get_compat_msghdr() in line with
copy_msghdr_from_user().
