Subject: [RFC] tls: length check correct in do_tls_getsockopt_tx()?

Hi,

In do_tls_getsockopt_tx():

if (len == sizeof(crypto_info)) {

should be

if (len == sizeof(*crypto_info)) {

as crypto_info is of pointer type. Or am I missing something?

btw: I am not very familiar with sockets. So I am wondering
what is the use of this functionality? Why copy only the header
to userspace?

Thanks.
Best Regards,

Matthias
