This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled inet: read sk->sk_family once in inet_recv_error() to the 4.19-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-read-sk-sk_family-once-in-inet_recv_error.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 92bcb33c6d024eae229082a089c81f2e380c3c66 Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 2 09:54:04 2024 +0000 inet: read sk->sk_family once in inet_recv_error() [ Upstream commit eef00a82c568944f113f2de738156ac591bbd5cd ] inet_recv_error() is called without holding the socket lock. IPv6 socket could mutate to IPv4 with IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and trigger a KCSAN warning.
