> Commit db31c55a6fb2 (net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an
> error) introduced the clamping of msg_namelen when the unsigned value
> was larger than sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage). This caused a
> msg_namelen of -1 to be valid. The native code was subsequently fixed by
> commit dbb490b96584 (net: socket: error on a negative msg_namelen).

> subsequently updated by 08adb7dabd48 (fold verify_iovec() into
