Subject: [PATCH] Problem with recent CMSG_COMPAT_OK fix
Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2005 17:59:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050104165934.GJ7761@suse.de> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1010 bytes --]

Hi,

The recent fixes for cmsg_len handling seem to break 32bit compatibility
at least on x86_64. The new CMSG_COMPAT_OK macro requires that cmsg_len
is greater or equal the size of struct cmsghdr, which is the 64bit
version of the struct.  The code should really check against the size
of struct compat_cmsghdr.
