After that the 'len' field of copied structure\nbeing compared with some constant value (64 or 8). However, if\n'memcpy_from_msg' returns an error, we will compare some uninitialized\nmemory. This triggers 'uninit-value' issue.\n\nThis patch will add 'memcpy_from_msg' possible errors processing to\navoid uninit-value issue.\n\nTested via syzkaller",
