[PATCH 4.14 131/138] strparser: Fix sign of err codes

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Apr 10 2018 - 18:41:28 EST


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

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

From: Dave Watson <davejwatson@xxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit cd00edc179863848abab5cc5683de5b7b5f70954 ]

strp_parser_err is called with a negative code everywhere, which then
calls abort_parser with a negative code. strp_msg_timeout calls
abort_parser directly with a positive code. Negate ETIMEDOUT
to match signed-ness of other calls.

The default abort_parser callback, strp_abort_strp, sets
sk->sk_err to err. Also negate the error here so sk_err always
holds a positive value, as the rest of the net code expects. Currently
a negative sk_err can result in endless loops, or user code that
thinks it actually sent/received err bytes.

Found while testing net/tls_sw recv path.

Fixes: 43a0c6751a322847 ("strparser: Stream parser for messages")
