>
> This patch fixes possible FDs leaks when truncation happens
> on either the message buffer or its control data. Indeed,
> by returning early, it did not let a chance to retrieve the
> FDs passed as ancillary data, and so caused a potential FDs
> leak.
>
> This patch fixes this by extracting the FDs from the
> ancillary data as long as recvmsg() call succeeded. It also
> improves the logs to differentiate between MSG_TRUNC and
> MSG_CTRUNC.
