This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: unix: allow bind to fail on mutex lock to the 3.10-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: net-unix-allow-bind-to-fail-on-mutex-lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 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 Mon Jan 13 09:39:01 PST 2014 From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:54:22 -0500 Subject: net: unix: allow bind to fail on mutex lock From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 37ab4fa7844a044dc21fde45e2a0fc2f3c3b6490 ] This is similar to the set_peek_off patch where calling bind while the socket is stuck in unix_dgram_recvmsg() will block and cause a hung task spew after a while. This is also the last place that did a straightforward mutex_lock(), so there shouldn't be any more of these patches. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
