Oliver Hartkopp 0de70e287b can: raw: return -ERANGE when filterset does not fit into user space buffer
Multiple filters (struct can_filter) can be set with the setsockopt()
function, which was originally intended as a write-only operation.

As getsockopt() also provides a CAN_RAW_FILTER option to read back the
given filters, the caller has to provide an appropriate user space buffer.
In the case this buffer is too small the getsockopt() silently truncates
the filter information and gives no information about the needed space.
This is safe but not convenient for the programmer.

In net/core/sock.c the SO_PEERGROUPS sockopt had a similar requirement
and solved it by returning -ERANGE in the case that the provided data
does not fit into the given user space buffer and fills the required size
into optlen, so that the caller can retry with a matching buffer length.

This patch adopts this approach for CAN_RAW_FILTER getsockopt().

README

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.
