2.6.27.59-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Steven J. Magnani <[email protected]> commit baff42ab1494528907bf4d5870359e31711746ae upstream. tcp_read_sock() can have a eat skbs without immediately advancing copied_seq. This can cause a panic in tcp_collapse() if it is called as a result of the recv_actor dropping the socket lock. A userspace program that splices data from a socket to either another socket or to a file can trigger this bug. Signed-off-by: Steven J. Magnani <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
