This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/smc: postpone sk_refcnt increment in connect() to the 5.18-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: net-smc-postpone-sk_refcnt-increment-in-connect.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b6aeba67f13f4b6ec0a9c8d1961eb0a174a973bf Author: liuyacan <liuyacan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon May 23 12:57:07 2022 +0800 net/smc: postpone sk_refcnt increment in connect() [ Upstream commit 75c1edf23b95a9c66923d9269d8e86e4dbde151f ] Same trigger condition as commit 86434744. When setsockopt runs in parallel to a connect(), and switch the socket into fallback mode. Then the sk_refcnt is incremented in smc_connect(), but its state stay in SMC_INIT (NOT SMC_ACTIVE). This cause the corresponding sk_refcnt decrement in __smc_release() will not be performed.
