Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

kcm: annotate data-races around kcm->rx_psock

kcm->rx_psock can be read locklessly in kcm_rfree(). Annotate the read and writes accordingly.

We do the same for kcm->rx_wait in the following patch.

syzbot reported: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in kcm_rfree / unreserve_rx_kcm
