This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: seq_file: Avoid skipping sk during tcp_seek_last_pos to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tcp-seq_file-avoid-skipping-sk-during-tcp_seek_last_.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a9995428bc92578595e694825d93ae02fa05fb68 Author: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@xxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 1 13:05:41 2021 -0700 tcp: seq_file: Avoid skipping sk during tcp_seek_last_pos [ Upstream commit 525e2f9fd0229eb10cb460a9e6d978257f24804e ] st->bucket stores the current bucket number. st->offset stores the offset within this bucket that is the sk to be seq_show(). Thus, st->offset only makes sense within the same st->bucket. These two variables are an optimization for the common no-lseek case. When resuming the seq_file iteration (i.e. seq_start()), tcp_seek_last_pos() tries to continue from the st->offset at bucket st->bucket. However, it is possible that the bucket pointed by st->bucket has changed and st->offset may end up skipping the whole st->bucket without finding a sk. In this case, tcp_seek_last_pos() currently continues to satisfy the offset condition in the next (and incorrect) bucket. Instead, regardless of the offset value, the first sk of the next bucket should be returned. Thus, "bucket == st->bucket" check is added to tcp_seek_last_pos(). The chance of hitting this is small and the issue is a decade old, so targeting for the next tree.
