I do not think this is a valid patch, not sure why David has merged so
soon before us reviewing it ?

You are bringing back the memory leaks.

ip_cmsg_send() can loop over multiple cmsghdr()

If IP_RETOPTS has been successful, but following cmsghdr generates an error,
we do not free ipc.ok

If IP_RETOPTS is not successful, we have freed the allocated temporary space,
not the one currently in ipc.opt.

Can you share what your exact finding was, perhaps a syzbot repro ???

Thanks.
