This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: tcp_probe: use spin_lock_bh() 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-tcp_probe-use-spin_lock_bh.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 foo@baz Thu Jun 15 09:31:48 CEST 2017 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 23 May 2017 21:53:32 -0400 Subject: tcp: tcp_probe: use spin_lock_bh() From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e70ac171658679ecf6bea4bbd9e9325cd6079d2b ] tcp_rcv_established() can now run in process context. We need to disable BH while acquiring tcp probe spinlock, or risk a deadlock.
