Currently, we report -ETOOSMALL (err) only on the first iteration
(!sent). When we get put_cmsg error after a bunch of successful
put_cmsg calls, we don't signal the error at all. This might be
confusing on the userspace side which will see truncated CMSGs
but no MSG_CTRUNC signal.
Consider the following case:
- sizeof(struct cmsghdr) = 16
- sizeof(struct dmabuf_cmsg) = 24
- total cmsg size (CMSG_LEN) = 40 (16+24)
When calling recvmsg with msg_controllen=60, the userspace
will receive two(!) dmabuf_cmsg(s), the first one will
be a valid one and the second one will be silently truncated. There is no
easy way to discover the truncation besides doing something like
"cm->cmsg_len != CMSG_LEN(sizeof(dmabuf_cmsg))".
Introduce new put_devmem_cmsg wrapper that reports an error instead
of doing the truncation. Mina suggests that it's the intended way
this API should work.
Note that we might now report MSG_CTRUNC when the users (incorrectly)
call us with msg_control == NULL.
Fixes: 8f0b3cc9a4 ("tcp: RX path for devmem TCP")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
