This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled af_packet: do not use READ_ONCE() in packet_bind() to the 6.3-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: af_packet-do-not-use-read_once-in-packet_bind.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 929ac83dd8936cd7e378fe05a1bed6b41cc367ed Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri May 26 15:43:42 2023 +0000 af_packet: do not use READ_ONCE() in packet_bind() [ Upstream commit 6ffc57ea004234d9373c57b204fd10370a69f392 ] A recent patch added READ_ONCE() in packet_bind() and packet_bind_spkt() This is better handled by reading pkt_sk(sk)->num later in packet_do_bind() while appropriate lock is held. READ_ONCE() in writers are often an evidence of something being wrong. Fixes: 822b5a1c17df ("af_packet: Fix data-races of pkt_sk(sk)->num.")
