This patch uses call_rcu() and moves sock_put and\nep free into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), so that it's safe to try to\nhold the ep under rcu_read_lock in sctp_transport_traverse_process().\n\nIf sctp_endpoint_hold() returns true, it means this ep is still alive\nand we have held it and can continue to dump it; If it returns false,\nit means this ep is dead and can be freed after rcu_read_unlock, and\nwe should skip it.\n\nIn sctp_sock_dump(), after locking the sk, if this ep is different from\ntsp->asoc->ep, it means during this dumping, this asoc was peeled off\nbefore calling lock_sock(), and the sk should be skipped; If this ep is\nthe same with tsp->asoc->ep, it means no peeloff happens on this asoc,\nand due to lock_sock, no peeloff will happen either until release_sock.\n\nNote that delaying endpoint free won't delay the port release, as the\nport release happens in sctp_endpoint_destroy() before calling call_rcu().\nAlso, freeing endpoint by call_rcu() makes it safe to access the sk by\nasoc->base.sk in sctp_assocs_seq_show() and sctp_rcv().\n\nThanks Jones to bring this issue up.\n\nv1->v2:\n - improve the changelog.\n - add kfree(ep) into sctp_endpoint_destroy_rcu(), as Jakub noticed." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
