If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 7563cf17dce0a875ba3d872acdc63a78ea344019 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jordan Rife <jrife@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2023 18:38:27 -0500 Subject: libceph: use kernel_connect() From: Jordan Rife <jrife@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7563cf17dce0a875ba3d872acdc63a78ea344019 upstream. Direct calls to ops->connect() can overwrite the address parameter when used in conjunction with BPF SOCK_ADDR hooks. Recent changes to kernel_connect() ensure that callers are insulated from such side effects. This patch wraps the direct call to ops->connect() with kernel_connect() to prevent unexpected changes to the address passed to ceph_tcp_connect(). This change was originally part of a larger patch targeting the net tree addressing all instances of unprotected calls to ops->connect() throughout the kernel, but this change was split up into several patches targeting various trees.
