Fix this by returning NULL from rxrpc_alloc_incoming_call() if there is no backlog struct. This will cause the incoming call to be aborted.

At line 257 of the original code, `smp_load_acquire(&b->call_backlog_head)` would dereference a NULL pointer if no preallocation was done. 2. **Minimal and Safe Fix**: The fix is a simple defensive check: ```c + if (!b) + return NULL; ``` This is placed immediately after obtaining the backlog pointer and before any usage. The fix has zero risk of regression - if `b` is NULL, the code would have crashed anyway. 3. **Clear Reproducible Scenario**: The bug occurs in a specific but realistic scenario - when an AF_RXRPC service socket is opened and bound but no calls are preallocated (meaning `rxrpc_service_prealloc()` was never called to allocate the backlog structure). 4. **Follows Stable Kernel Rules**: This fix meets all criteria for stable backporting: - Fixes a real bug that users can hit - Small and contained change (2 lines) - Obviously correct with no side effects - Already tested and merged upstream 5. **Similar to Previously Backported Fixes**: Looking at Similar Commit #2 which was marked YES, it also fixed an oops in the rxrpc preallocation/backlog system with minimal changes. The commit prevents a kernel crash with a trivial NULL check, making it an ideal candidate for stable backporting. net/rxrpc/call_accept.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/rxrpc/call_accept.c b/net/rxrpc/call_accept.c index e685034ce4f7c..368e012c74f01 100644 --- a/net/rxrpc/call_accept.c +++ b/net/rxrpc/call_accept.c @@ -253,6 +253,9 @@ static struct rxrpc_call *rxrpc_alloc_incoming_call(struct rxrpc_sock *rx, unsigned short call_tail, conn_tail, peer_tail; unsigned short call_count, conn_count; + if (!b) + return NULL; + /* #calls >= #conns >= #peers must hold true. */ call_head = smp_load_acquire(&b->call_backlog_head); call_tail = b->call_backlog_tail; -- 2.39.5
