3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f81152e35001e91997ec74a7b4e040e6ab0acccf ] recvmsg handler in net/rose/af_rose.c performs size-check ->msg_namelen. After commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c (net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic), we now always take the else branch due to namelen being initialized to 0. Digging in netdev-vger-cvs git repo shows that msg_namelen was initialized with a fixed-size since at least 1995, so the else branch was never taken. Compile tested only.
