Hi,

Should the return value of the copy_from_sockptr in net/socket.c be checked?
The following patch may solve this problem:

diff --git a/net/socket.c b/net/socket.c
index 0a2bd22ec105..6b9a414d01d5 100644
--- a/net/socket.c
+++ b/net/socket.c
@@ -2370,8 +2370,11 @@ int do_sock_getsockopt(struct socket *sock, bool compat, int level,
 	if (err)
 		return err;
 
-	if (!compat)
-		copy_from_sockptr(&max_optlen, optlen, sizeof(int));
+	if (!compat) {
+		err = copy_from_sockptr(&max_optlen, optlen, sizeof(int));
+		if (err)
+			return -EFAULT;

 	ops = READ_ONCE(sock->ops);
 	if (level == SOL_SOCKET) {
