If recvmsg is called with a destination buffer that is too small to
receive the contents of skb in its entirety, the return value from
recvmsg was inconsistent with common SOCK_SEQPACKET or SOCK_DGRAM
semantics.
If destination buffer provided by userspace is too small (e.g. len <
copied), then MSG_TRUNC flag is set and copied is returned. Instead, it
should return the length of the message, which is consistent with how
other datagram based sockets act. Quoting 'man recv':
"All three calls return the length of the message on successful comple‐
tion. If a message is too long to fit in the supplied buffer, excess
bytes may be discarded depending on the type of socket the message is
received from."
and
"MSG_TRUNC (since Linux 2.2)
For raw (AF_PACKET), Internet datagram (since Linux
2.4.27/2.6.8), netlink (since Linux 2.6.22), and UNIX datagram
(since Linux 3.4) sockets: return the real length of the packet
or datagram, even when it was longer than the passed buffer."
