This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ipv6: tcp: add rcu locking in tcp_v6_send_synack() to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt3. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 4.2.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 1df437a342b11b92c0c761d099fb84409fc033ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 09:35:51 -0800 Subject: ipv6: tcp: add rcu locking in tcp_v6_send_synack() commit 3e4006f0b86a5ae5eb0e8215f9a9e1db24506977 upstream. When first SYNACK is sent, we already hold rcu_read_lock(), but this is not true if a SYNACK is retransmitted, as a timer (soft) interrupt does not hold rcu_read_lock() Fixes: 45f6fad84cc30 ("ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt") Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
