Matthieu Baerts says: ==================== mptcp: fixes for 6.4 Patch 1 correctly handles disconnect() failures that can happen in some specific cases: now the socket state is set as unconnected as expected. That fixes an issue introduced in v6.2. Patch 2 fixes a divide by zero bug in mptcp_recvmsg() with a fix similar to a recent one from Eric Dumazet for TCP introducing sk_wait_pending flag. It should address an issue present in MPTCP from almost the beginning, from v5.9. Patch 3 fixes a possible list corruption on passive MPJ even if the race seems very unlikely, better be safe than sorry. The possible issue is present from v5.17. Patch 4 consolidates fallback and non fallback state machines to avoid leaking some MPTCP sockets. The fix is likely needed for versions from v5.11. Patch 5 drops code that is no longer used after the introduction of patch 4/6. This is not really a fix but this patch can probably land in the -net tree as well not to leave unused code. Patch 6 ensures listeners are unhashed before updating their sk status to avoid possible deadlocks when diag info are going to be retrieved with a lock. Even if it should not be visible with the way we are currently getting diag info, the issue is present from v5.17. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230620-upstream-net-20230620-misc-fixes-for-v6-4-v1-0-f36aa5eae8b9@tessares.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
