H A Dccid.cdiff 69a6a0b38a139ccceef32222108caca8a9b0b795 Sun Feb 07 21:20:28 CET 2010 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> dccp: allow probing of CCID-array length

This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way
for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying
DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
EINVAL is no longer returned.

This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
when the length is <= 0.

Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the
minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3
CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).
