## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp_bpf: fix return value of tcp_bpf_sendmsg()

When we cork messages in psock->cork, the last message triggers the
flushing will result in sending a sk_msg larger than the current
message size. In this case, in tcp_bpf_send_verdict(), 'copied' becomes
negative at least in the following case:

468         case __SK_DROP:
469         default:
470                 sk_msg_free_partial(sk, msg, tosend);
471                 sk_msg_apply_bytes(psock, tosend);
472                 *copied -= (tosend + delta); // <==== HERE
473                 return -EACCES;

Therefore, it could lead to the following BUG with a proper value of
'copied' (thanks to syzbot). We should not use negative 'copied' as a
return value here.
