This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net:rds: Fix possible deadlock in rds_message_put to the 6.1-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: net-rds-fix-possible-deadlock-in-rds_message_put.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6886f936fe465fa7580e235758b78e0c7f459bd6 Author: Allison Henderson <allison.henderson@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 8 19:28:54 2024 -0700 net:rds: Fix possible deadlock in rds_message_put [ Upstream commit f1acf1ac84d2ae97b7889b87223c1064df850069 ] Functions rds_still_queued and rds_clear_recv_queue lock a given socket in order to safely iterate over the incoming rds messages. However calling rds_inc_put while under this lock creates a potential deadlock. rds_inc_put may eventually call rds_message_purge, which will lock m_rs_lock. This is the incorrect locking order since m_rs_lock is meant to be locked before the socket. To fix this, we move the message item to a local list or variable that wont need rs_recv_lock protection. Then we can safely call rds_inc_put on any item stored locally after rs_recv_lock is released.
