This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netlink: do not reset transport header in netlink_recvmsg() to the 4.9-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: netlink-do-not-reset-transport-header-in-netlink_rec.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 92b14381f5424aa3e04e9b14ca7642e0e1c27b21 Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 5 09:19:46 2022 -0700 netlink: do not reset transport header in netlink_recvmsg() [ Upstream commit d5076fe4049cadef1f040eda4aaa001bb5424225 ] netlink_recvmsg() does not need to change transport header. If transport header was needed, it should have been reset by the producer (netlink_dump()), not the consumer(s). The following trace probably happened when multiple threads were using MSG_PEEK.
