From: Chengfeng Ye <dg573847474@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6feb37b3b06e9049e20dcf7e23998f92c9c5be9a ] As &net->sctp.addr_wq_lock is also acquired by the timer sctp_addr_wq_timeout_handler() in protocal.c, the same lock acquisition at sctp_auto_asconf_init() seems should disable irq since it is called from sctp_accept() under process context. Possible deadlock scenario: sctp_accept() -> sctp_sock_migrate() -> sctp_auto_asconf_init() -> spin_lock(&net->sctp.addr_wq_lock) <timer interrupt> -> sctp_addr_wq_timeout_handler() -> spin_lock_bh(&net->sctp.addr_wq_lock); (deadlock here) This flaw was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are developing for irq-related deadlock. The tentative patch fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_bh().
