A NULL page from sg_page() in sk_msg_recvmsg() can reach __kmap_local_page_prot() and crash the kernel. Add a check for the page before calling copy_page_to_iter() and fail early with -EFAULT to prevent the crash.
Interesting. I thought the sge in this case are build from the kernel, I did not expect a null page to be possible. Can you describe in the commit message how such bad sges are created?

Does not apply to net. Please rebase and resend, adding the target tree in the subj prefix and specifying a revision number. Thanks, Paolo
