[ Upstream commit d913d32cc2707e9cd24fe6fa6d7d470e9c728980 ]
Brad Spencer provided a detailed report [0] that when calling getsockopt() for AF_NETLINK, some SOL_NETLINK options set only 1 byte even though such options require at least sizeof(int) as length.
The options return a flag value that fits into 1 byte, but such behaviour confuses users who do not initialise the variable before calling getsockopt() and do not strictly check the returned value as char.
Currently, netlink_getsockopt() uses put_user() to copy data to optlen and optval, but put_user() casts the data based on the pointer, char *optval. As a result, only 1 byte is set to optval.
To avoid this behaviour, we need to use copy_to_user() or cast optval for put_user().
Note that this changes the behaviour on big-endian systems, but we document that the size of optval is int in the man page.
$ man 7 netlink ... Socket options To set or get a netlink socket option, call getsockopt(2) to read or setsockopt(2) to write the option with the option level argument set to SOL_NETLINK. Unless otherwise noted, optval is a pointer to an int.
