Subject: udp/recvmsg: Clear MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a new packet


From: Xufeng Zhang <xufeng.zh...@windriver.com>

[ Upstream commit 9cfaa8def1c795a512bc04f2aec333b03724ca2e ]

Consider this scenario: When the size of the first received udp packet
is bigger than the receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC bit is set in msg->msg_flags.
However, if checksum error happens and this is a blocking socket, it will
goto try_again loop to receive the next packet.  But if the size of the
next udp packet is smaller than receive buffer, MSG_TRUNC flag should not
be set, but because MSG_TRUNC bit is not cleared in msg->msg_flags before
receive the next packet, MSG_TRUNC is still set, which is wrong.

Fix this problem by clearing MSG_TRUNC flag when starting over for a
new packet.
