Merge branch 'msg_control-split'
Kevin Brodsky says: ==================== net: Finish up ->msg_control{,_user} split Commit 1f466e1f ("net: cleanly handle kernel vs user buffers for ->msg_control") introduced the msg_control_user and msg_control_is_user fields in struct msghdr, to ensure that user pointers are represented as such. It also took care of converting most users of struct msghdr::msg_control where user pointers are involved. It did however miss a number of cases, and some code using msg_control inappropriately has also appeared in the meantime. This series is attempting to complete the split, by eliminating the remaining cases where msg_control is used when in fact a user pointer is stored in the union (patch 1). It also addresses a couple of issues with msg_control_is_user: one where it is not updated as it should (patch 2), and one where it is not initialised (patch 3). v1..v2: * Split out the msg_control_is_user fixes into separate patches. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
