If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b72f28a16dbb598c00f7c5b23b42352a153b3b21 Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 4 09:52:39 2024 -0700 af_unix: Use skb_queue_empty_lockless() in unix_release_sock(). [ Upstream commit 83690b82d228b3570565ebd0b41873933238b97f ] If the socket type is SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET, unix_release_sock() checks the length of the peer socket's recvq under unix_state_lock(). However, unix_stream_read_generic() calls skb_unlink() after releasing the lock. Also, for SOCK_SEQPACKET, __skb_try_recv_datagram() unlinks skb without unix_state_lock(). Thues, unix_state_lock() does not protect qlen. Let's use skb_queue_empty_lockless() in unix_release_sock().
