I will answer since you ask so nicely,
but if you plan sending linux kernel patches, I suggest you look in
the source code.

Look at do_ip_setsockopt(), which is one of the most used setsockopt()
in the world.

The code is at least 20 years old.

It even supports optlen == 0

               if (optlen >= sizeof(int)) {
                       if (copy_from_sockptr(&val, optval, sizeof(val)))
                               return -EFAULT;
               } else if (optlen >= sizeof(char)) {
                       unsigned char ucval;

                       if (copy_from_sockptr(&ucval, optval, sizeof(ucval)))
                               return -EFAULT;
                       val = (int) ucval;
               }
       }

       /* If optlen==0, it is equivalent to val == 0 */
