This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: don't annotate mark on control socket from tcp_v6_send_response() to the 4.9-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-don-t-annotate-mark-on-control-socket-from-tcp_v6_send_response.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 92e55f412cffd016cc245a74278cb4d7b89bb3bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:56:21 +0100 Subject: tcp: don't annotate mark on control socket from tcp_v6_send_response() From: Pablo Neira <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 92e55f412cffd016cc245a74278cb4d7b89bb3bc upstream. Unlike ipv4, this control socket is shared by all cpus so we cannot use it as scratchpad area to annotate the mark that we pass to ip6_xmit(). Add a new parameter to ip6_xmit() to indicate the mark. The SCTP socket family caches the flowi6 structure in the sctp_transport structure, so we cannot use to carry the mark unless we later on reset it back, which I discarded since it looks ugly to me.
