Pietro Borrello db6efde0ab tap: tap_open(): correctly initialize socket uid 
[ Upstream commit 66b2c338ad ]

sock_init_data() assumes that the `struct socket` passed in input is
contained in a `struct socket_alloc` allocated with sock_alloc().
However, tap_open() passes a `struct socket` embedded in a `struct
tap_queue` allocated with sk_alloc().
This causes a type confusion when issuing a container_of() with
SOCK_INODE() in sock_init_data() which results in assigning a wrong
sk_uid to the `struct sock` in input.
On default configuration, the type confused field overlaps with
padding bytes between `int vnet_hdr_sz` and `struct tap_dev __rcu
*tap` in `struct tap_queue`, which makes the uid of all tap sockets 0,
i.e., the root one.
Fix the assignment by using sock_init_data_uid().

Fixes: 86741ec254 ("net: core: Add a UID field to struct sock.")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
