[PATCH net] net/iucv: fix locking in .getsockopt

From: Breno Leitao

Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 11:31:09 EST


Mirror iucv_sock_setsockopt() and wrap the whole switch in
lock_sock()/release_sock(). The pre-existing SO_MSGLIMIT-only lock
becomes redundant and is removed.

Any AF_IUCV HIPER user can potentially crash the kernel by racing
recvmsg() with getsockopt(SO_MSGSIZE): the SO_MSGSIZE arm dereferences
iucv->hs_dev->mtu after iucv_sock_close() (called from the racing
recvmsg()) has set hs_dev to NULL, producing a NULL pointer dereference
oops.

Note1: Not using goto/label to simplify the merge conflict that might
happen with the migration of af_iucv to getsockopt_iter

Note2: This was only compile-tested.
