[SRU quantal saucy lts-raring] [PATCH 0/1] LP#1269053 -- recv_msg send_msg EINVAL regression

[Andy Whitcroft]

When the commit below was applied it caused a regression with msg IPC
specifically with poorly written applications which supplied buffers larger
than that permitted by the kernel.  While these are arguably faulty the
regression can be avoided by clamping the buffer size to that the kernel
will use.  The following patch is a simple cherry-pick of the upstream fix.

Proposing for quantal/master saucy/master and precise/lts-raring.

  net: clamp ->msg_namelen instead of returning an error
