Subject: [PATCH] net: Shrink sock.sk_err sk_err_soft to u16 from int
Date:   Sun,  3 Jul 2022 23:06:43 +0300
Message-Id: <74c6f54cd3869258f4c83b46d9e5b95f7f0dab4b.1656878516.git.cdleonard@gmail.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

These fields hold positive errno values which are limited by
ERRNO_MAX=4095 so 16 bits is more than enough.

They are also always positive; setting them to a negative errno value
can result in falsely reporting a successful read/write of incorrect
size.

I ran some relatively complex tests without noticing issues but some corner
case where this breaks might exist.
