Subject: [RFC] [PATCH] net: socket: Fix the wrong returns for recvmsg and sendmsg

Hi, Greg:

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.

So, I made the following patch to fix the above problem for LTS 3.10.

Cheers,

Junling

============

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)
