From 18eceb818dc37bbc783ec7ef7703f270cc6cd281 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rainer Weikusat Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:39:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] af_unix: Don't use continue to re-execute unix_stream_read_generic loop The unix_stream_read_generic function tries to use a continue statement to restart the receive loop after waiting for a message. This may not work as intended as the caller might use a recvmsg call to peek at control messages without specifying a message buffer. If this was the case, the continue will cause the function to return without an error and without the credential information if the function had to wait for a message while it had returned with the credentials otherwise. Change to using goto to restart the loop without checking the condition first in this case so that credentials are returned either way.
