[PATCH net-next v2] scm: fix MSG_CTRUNC setting condition for SO_PASSSEC

From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn
Date: Mon Mar 13 2023 - 07:33:55 EST


Currently, kernel would set MSG_CTRUNC flag if msg_control buffer
wasn't provided and SO_PASSCRED was set or if there was pending SCM_RIGHTS.

For some reason we have no corresponding check for SO_PASSSEC.

In the recvmsg(2) doc we have:
MSG_CTRUNC
indicates that some control data was discarded due to lack
of space in the buffer for ancillary data.

So, we need to set MSG_CTRUNC flag for all types of SCM.

This change can break applications those don't check MSG_CTRUNC flag.
