This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sock_diag: do not broadcast raw socket destruction to the 4.6-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: sock_diag-do-not-broadcast-raw-socket-destruction.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.6 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 Wed Jul 6 16:50:56 PDT 2016 From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 16:02:35 -0400 Subject: sock_diag: do not broadcast raw socket destruction From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9a0fee2b552b1235fb1706ae1fc664ae74573be8 ] Diag intends to broadcast tcp_sk and udp_sk socket destruction. Testing sk->sk_protocol for IPPROTO_TCP/IPPROTO_UDP alone is not sufficient for this. Raw sockets can have the same type. Add a test for sk->sk_type.
