3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0d4f0608619de59fd8169dd8e72aadc28d80e715 ] When an ICMP ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED (or ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG) message finds a LISTEN socket, and this socket is currently owned by the user, we set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED flag in listener tsq_flags. This is bad because if we clone the parent before it had a chance to clear the flag, the child inherits the tsq_flags value, and next tcp_release_cb() on the child will decrement sk_refcnt. Result is that we might free a live TCP socket, as reported by Dormando. IPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1 Fix this issue by testing sk_state against TCP_LISTEN early, so that we set TCP_MTU_REDUCED_DEFERRED on appropriate sockets (not a LISTEN one) This bug was introduced in commit 563d34d05786 (tcp: dont drop MTU reduction indications) Reported-by: dormando <dormando@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
