commit 8e9eacad7ec7a9cbf262649ebf1fa6e6f6cc7d82 upstream.
The MPTCP endpoint list is under RCU protection, guarded by the
pernet spinlock. mptcp_nl_cmd_set_flags() traverses the list
without acquiring the spin-lock nor under the RCU critical section.
This change addresses the issue performing the lookup and the endpoint
update under the pernet spinlock.
[The upstream commit had to handle a lookup_by_id variable that is only
present in 5.17. This version of the patch removes that variable, so
the __lookup_addr() function only handles the lookup as it is
implemented in 5.15 and 5.16. It also removes one 'const' keyword to
prevent a warning due to differing const-ness in the 5.17 version of
addresses_equal().]

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.
