I think this patch breaks code that was already in do_sock_restore():
struct sock *do_sock_restore(struct ckpt_ctx *ctx)
{
struct ckpt_hdr_socket *h;
struct socket *sock;
int ret;
h = ckpt_read_obj_type(ctx, sizeof(*h), CKPT_HDR_SOCKET);
if (IS_ERR(h))
return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(h));
/* silently clear flags, e.g. SOCK_NONBLOCK or SOCK_CLOEXEC */
h->sock.type &= SOCK_TYPE_MASK;
ret = sock_create(h->sock_common.family, h->sock.type, 0,
&sock);
if (ret < 0)
goto err;
You're passing 0 as the protocol value to sock_create(). This
ultimately gets passed to the address family's create() function.
inet_create() (and its IPv6 companion) use that protocol value as the
key when they search for the proper inet_protosw, which in turn gets
mapped to the struct proto and passed to sk_prot_alloc().
In address families INET and AF_INET6, the struct sock is different
sizes for different protocols. This is implemented by the struct proto
specifying which cache the struct sock comes from.
So by passing in 0 all the time to sock_create(), you're getting a
struct sock that may not be the right size. Memory corruption and
madness follow.
