Subject: net: ipv4: fix for a race condition in raw_sendmsg
From: Mohamed Ghannam <simo.ghannam@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8f659a03a0ba9289b9aeb9b4470e6fb263d6f483 ]
inet->hdrincl is racy, and could lead to uninitialized stack pointer
usage, so its value should be read only once.
Fixes: c008ba5bdc9f ("ipv4: Avoid reading user iov twice after raw_probe_proto_opt")
