3.2.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Junling Zheng <zhengjunling@xxxxxxxxxx>
Based on 08adb7dabd4874cc5666b4490653b26534702ce0 upstream.
We found that after v3.10.73, recvmsg might return -EFAULT while -EINVAL
was expected.
We tested it through the recvmsg01 testcase come from LTP testsuit. It set
msg->msg_namelen to -1 and the recvmsg syscall returned errno 14, which is
unexpected (errno 22 is expected):
recvmsg01 4 TFAIL : invalid socket length ; returned -1 (expected -1),
errno 14 (expected 22)
Linux mainline has no this bug for commit 08adb7dab fixes it accidentally.
However, it is too large and complex to be backported to LTS 3.10.
Commit 281c9c36 (net: compat: Update get_compat_msghdr() to match
copy_msghdr_from_user() behaviour) made get_compat_msghdr() return
error if msg_sys->msg_namelen was negative, which changed the behaviors
of recvmsg and sendmsg syscall in a lib32 system:
Before commit 281c9c36, get_compat_msghdr() wouldn't fail and it would
return -EINVAL in move_addr_to_user() or somewhere if msg_sys->msg_namelen
was invalid and then syscall returned -EINVAL, which is correct.
And now, when msg_sys->msg_namelen is negative, get_compat_msghdr() will
fail and wants to return -EINVAL, however, the outer syscall will return
-EFAULT directly, which is unexpected.
This patch gets the return value of get_compat_msghdr() as well as
copy_msghdr_from_user(), then returns this expected value if
get_compat_msghdr() fails.
Fixes: 281c9c36 (net: compat: Update get_compat_msghdr() to match copy_msghdr_from_user() behaviour)
