This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: unix: allow set_peek_off to fail to the 3.12-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-set_peek_off-to-fail.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.12 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 09:44:41 PST 2014 From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 17:26:27 -0500 Subject: net: unix: allow set_peek_off to fail From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 12663bfc97c8b3fdb292428105dd92d563164050 ] unix_dgram_recvmsg() will hold the readlock of the socket until recv is complete. In the same time, we may try to setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) which will hang until unix_dgram_recvmsg() will complete (which can take a while) without allowing us to break out of it, triggering a hung task spew. Instead, allow set_peek_off to fail, this way userspace will not hang. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
