This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled inet: fix fast path in __inet_hash_connect() to the 4.14-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: inet-fix-fast-path-in-__inet_hash_connect.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bcfdfc986a9ba69eb7a4e1508a28115d397eab9a Author: Pietro Borrello <borrello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jan 14 13:11:41 2023 +0000 inet: fix fast path in __inet_hash_connect() [ Upstream commit 21cbd90a6fab7123905386985e3e4a80236b8714 ] __inet_hash_connect() has a fast path taken if sk_head(&tb->owners) is equal to the sk parameter. sk_head() returns the hlist_entry() with respect to the sk_node field. However entries in the tb->owners list are inserted with respect to the sk_bind_node field with sk_add_bind_node(). Thus the check would never pass and the fast path never execute. This fast path has never been executed or tested as this bug seems to be present since commit 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2"), thus remove it to reduce code complexity.
