No, I don't see any need to do this. If some user reads the socket with a bad memory area resulting in a EFAULT, we don't care _what_ happens.
Remember: the kernel is there to act for the user, it is NOT there to cover up for the mistakes the user does. Covering up only hides the real bugs and you get a bad system over all..
Ok, then I just won't adjust the sequence number back in TCP recvmsg. No problem, you're right.
