From 1dc7b90f7cd050ef6d5e511e652347e52874469c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 03:45:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: tcp: fix race in IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS IPv6 TCP sockets store in np->pktoptions skbs, and use skb_set_owner_r() to charge the skb to socket. It means that destructor must be called while socket is locked. Therefore, we cannot use skb_get() or atomic_inc(&skb->users) to protect ourselves : kfree_skb() might race with other users manipulating sk->sk_forward_alloc Fix this race by holding socket lock for the duration of ip6_datagram_recv_ctl() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
