Are you sure that it will always > be initialised by the time line 2977 is reached? Nice catch, thank you. It is possible, if you call recvmmsg(2) with zero vlen and MSG_ERRQUEUE in flags. Which is not going to be done in any well-behaving code, making it really nasty - nothing like a kernel bug that shows up only when trying to narrow down a userland bug upstream of the syscall in question ;-/ AFAICS, that's the only bug of that sort in this commit - all other places that used to rely upon successful sockfd_lookup_light() zeroing err have an unconditional assignment to err shortly downstream of that. Fix folded into commit in question, branch force-pushed; incremental follows (I would rather not spam the lists with repost of the entire patchset for the sake of that): diff --git a/net/socket.c b/net/socket.c index fb3806a11f94..c3ac02d060c0 100644 --- a/net/socket.c +++ b/net/socket.c @@ -2885,7 +2885,7 @@ static int do_recvmmsg(int fd, struct mmsghdr __user *mmsg, unsigned int vlen, unsigned int flags, struct timespec64 *timeout) { - int err, datagrams; + int err = 0, datagrams; struct socket *sock; struct mmsghdr __user *entry; struct compat_mmsghdr __user *compat_entry;
