This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled rds: tcp: atomically purge entries from rds_tcp_conn_list during netns delete to the 4.15-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: rds-tcp-atomically-purge-entries-from-rds_tcp_conn_list-during-netns-delete.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f10b4cff98c6977668434fbf5dd58695eeca2897 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2017 11:11:29 -0800 Subject: rds: tcp: atomically purge entries from rds_tcp_conn_list during netns delete From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f10b4cff98c6977668434fbf5dd58695eeca2897 upstream. The rds_tcp_kill_sock() function parses the rds_tcp_conn_list to find the rds_connection entries marked for deletion as part of the netns deletion under the protection of the rds_tcp_conn_lock. Since the rds_tcp_conn_list tracks rds_tcp_connections (which have a 1:1 mapping with rds_conn_path), multiple tc entries in the rds_tcp_conn_list will map to a single rds_connection, and will be deleted as part of the rds_conn_destroy() operation that is done outside the rds_tcp_conn_lock. The rds_tcp_conn_list traversal done under the protection of rds_tcp_conn_lock should not leave any doomed tc entries in the list after the rds_tcp_conn_lock is released, else another concurrently executiong netns delete (for a differnt netns) thread may trip on these entries.
