      [NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compat · d64d3873
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>
      
      sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will
      cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall!
      
      This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a
      new iovec structure.  Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed.
      
      I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the
      problem:
      
      http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c
      
      Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as
      it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.
      
      [ I fixed that. -DaveM ]

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
