4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 729235554d805c63e5e274fcc6a98e71015dd847 ] If tcp_v4_inbound_md5_hash() returns an error, we must release the refcount on the request socket, not on the listener. The bug was added for IPv4 only. Fixes: 079096f103fac ("tcp/dccp: install syn_recv requests into ehash table") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
