The svc_addr_len() helper function returns -EAFNOSUPPORT if it

recognize the address family of the passed-in socket address.
However,
the return type of this function is size_t, which means - EAFNOSUPPORT
is turned into a very large positive value in this case.

The check in svc_udp_recvfrom() to see if the return value is less
than zero therefore won't work at all.

Additionally, handle_connect_req() passes this value directly to
memset().  This could cause memset() to clobber a large chunk of
memory
if svc_addr_len() has returned an error.  Currently the address
family
of these addresses, however, is known to be supported long before
handle_connect_req() is called, so this isn't a real risk.

Change the error return value of svc_addr_len() to zero, which fits
in
the range of size_t, and is safer to pass to memset() directly.

May as well stick a WARN() here too if only as a shorthand way of
documenting that this isn't meant to happen.

Sounds reasonable, but:

1.  I thought BUG() was the way to document "shouldn't happen," and

That'd be OK too.


2.  What about all the other static inliney places this "shouldn't
happen" ?

Such as?

nlm_cmp_addr(), nlm_privileged_requester(), svc_addr_port(), nfs_sockaddr_match_ipaddr(), nfs_sockaddr_cmp(), nfs_server_get_key(), nfs_set_port(), nfs_verify_server_address(), and so on.

--b.


I guess we kind of gave up on BUG'ing in all these places.

--b.
