Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] udp_vu: Check iov_tail_clone() return before assigning to msg_iovlen
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 17:56:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709215656.1351549-3-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709215656.1351549-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
iov_tail_clone() returns ssize_t and can return -1 if the destination
iov array is too small. Its return value was assigned directly to
msg.msg_iovlen which is size_t, wrapping a negative value to a large
unsigned number passed to recvmsg().
Check for failure and return early, letting the caller rewind the
virtqueue.

v2: Use if-guard instead of assert(), since the error path is
a legitimate (if unlikely) condition handled by the caller.
