cmsghdr_from_user_compat_to_kern() is an unusual case w.r.t. how the kmsg->msg_control* fields are used. The input struct msghdr holds a pointer to a user buffer, i.e. ksmg->msg_control_user is active. However, upon success, a kernel pointer is stored in kmsg->msg_control. kmsg->msg_control_is_user should therefore be updated accordingly.

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 Restructured Text 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.
