From 351050ecd6523374b370341cc29fe61e2201556b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 09:29:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kcm: do not attach PF_KCM sockets to avoid deadlock syzkaller had no problem to trigger a deadlock, attaching a KCM socket to another one (or itself). (original syzkaller report was a very confusing lockdep splat during a sendmsg()) It seems KCM claims to only support TCP, but no enforcement is done, so we might need to add additional checks.
