This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vsock: use new wait API for vsock_stream_sendmsg() 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: vsock-use-new-wait-api-for-vsock_stream_sendmsg.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 499fde662f1957e3cb8d192a94a099ebe19c714b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 11:21:59 -0700 Subject: vsock: use new wait API for vsock_stream_sendmsg() From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> commit 499fde662f1957e3cb8d192a94a099ebe19c714b upstream. As reported by Michal, vsock_stream_sendmsg() could still sleep at vsock_stream_has_space() after prepare_to_wait(): vsock_stream_has_space vmci_transport_stream_has_space vmci_qpair_produce_free_space qp_lock qp_acquire_queue_mutex mutex_lock Just switch to the new wait API like we did for commit d9dc8b0f8b4e ("net: fix sleeping for sk_wait_event()").
