Re: [PATCH net] net/smc: fix TOCTOU race between smc_listen_out() and listener close

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

> smc_listen_out() reads lsmc->sk.sk_state without the listener lock,
> then acquires lock_sock_nested() only after the check passes. This
> opens a window where smc_close_active() can transition the listener
> to SMC_CLOSED, call smc_close_cleanup_listen() to drain the accept
> queue, and release the lock, all between the lockless read and the
> delayed lock acquisition:

>   smc_listen_work (smc_hs_wq)          smc_close_active()
