This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mptcp: fix locking for in-kernel listener creation to the 6.1-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: mptcp-fix-locking-for-in-kernel-listener-creation.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 446187deb58937f8bda106c7987900a70dbceae1 Author: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Feb 7 14:04:15 2023 +0100 mptcp: fix locking for in-kernel listener creation [ Upstream commit ad2171009d968104ccda9dc517f5a3ba891515db ] For consistency, in mptcp_pm_nl_create_listen_socket(), we need to call the __mptcp_nmpc_socket() under the msk socket lock. Note that as a side effect, mptcp_subflow_create_socket() needs a 'nested' lockdep annotation, as it will acquire the subflow (kernel) socket lock under the in-kernel listener msk socket lock. The current lack of locking is almost harmless, because the relevant socket is not exposed to the user space, but in future we will add more complexity to the mentioned helper, let's play safe.
