This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled packet: fix races in fanout_add() to the 4.4-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: packet-fix-races-in-fanout_add.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 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 Thu Feb 23 21:13:19 CET 2017 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2017 09:03:51 -0800 Subject: packet: fix races in fanout_add() From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d199fab63c11998a602205f7ee7ff7c05c97164b ] Multiple threads can call fanout_add() at the same time. We need to grab fanout_mutex earlier to avoid races that could lead to one thread freeing po->rollover that was set by another thread. Do the same in fanout_release(), for peace of mind, and to help us finding lockdep issues earlier. Fixes: dc99f600698d ("packet: Add fanout support.") Fixes: 0648ab70afe6 ("packet: rollover prepare: per-socket state") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
