Setting IP_RECVERR and IPV6_RECVERR options to zero currently purges the socket error queue, which was probably not expected for zerocopy and tx_timestamp users. I discovered this issue while preparing commit 6b5f43ea0815 ("inet: move inet->recverr to inet->inet_flags"), I presume this change does not need to be backported to stable kernels. Add skb_errqueue_purge() helper to purge error messages only.

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.
