This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: md5: fix lockdep annotation to the 4.2-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: tcp-md5-fix-lockdep-annotation.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Dec 11 11:38:35 EST 2015 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 12:40:13 -0800 Subject: tcp: md5: fix lockdep annotation From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1b8e6a01e19f001e9f93b39c32387961c91ed3cc ] When a passive TCP is created, we eventually call tcp_md5_do_add() with sk pointing to the child. It is not owner by the user yet (we will add this socket into listener accept queue a bit later anyway) But we do own the spinlock, so amend the lockdep annotation to avoid following splat : [ 8451.090932] net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:923 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!
