6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a9bf9c7dc6a5899c01cb8f6e773a66315a5cd4b7 ] As small optimisation, unix_stream_connect() prefetches the client's sk->sk_state without unix_state_lock() and checks if it's TCP_CLOSE. Later, sk->sk_state is checked again under unix_state_lock(). Let's use READ_ONCE() for the first check and TCP_CLOSE directly for the second check.
