Subject: [ 11/27] ipc: set msg back to -EAGAIN if copy wasnt performed
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:43:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130415024232.197618863@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130415024231.351969241@linuxfoundation.org>

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com>

commit 2dc958fa2fe6987e7ab106bd97029a09a82fcd8d upstream.

Make sure that msg pointer is set back to error value in case of
MSG_COPY flag is set and desired message to copy wasn't found.  This
garantees that msg is either a error pointer or a copy address.

Otherwise the last message in queue will be freed without unlinking from
the queue (which leads to memory corruption) and the dummy allocated
copy won't be released.
