3.2.45-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mathias Krause <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 9b3e617f3df53822345a8573b6d358f6b9e5ed87 ] The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set. It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared about vcc_recvmsg() not filling the msg_name in case it was set.
