Clearing the 'inet_num' field is necessary and safe if and only if the socket is not bound. The MPTCP protocol calls the destroy helper on bound sockets, as tcp_v{4,6}_syn_recv_sock completed successfully. Move the clearing of such field out of the common code, otherwise the MPTCP MP_JOIN error path will find the wrong 'inet_num' value on socket disposal, __inet_put_port() will acquire the wrong lock and bind_node removal could race with other modifiers possibly corrupting the bind hash table.

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.
