copy_from_sockptr() helper is unsafe, unless callers
did the prior check against user provided optlen.
Too many callers get this wrong, lets add a helper to
fix them and avoid future copy/paste bugs.
Instead of :
if (optlen < sizeof(opt)) {
err = -EINVAL;
break;
}
if (copy_from_sockptr(&opt, optval, sizeof(opt)) {
err = -EFAULT;
break;
}
Use :
err = copy_safe_from_sockptr(&opt, sizeof(opt),
optval, optlen);
if (err)
break;

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
