Details

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

tcp: tcp_make_synack() can be called from process context

tcp_rtx_synack() now could be called in process context as explained in 0a375c822497 ("tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context").

tcp_rtx_synack() might call tcp_make_synack(), which will touch per-CPU variables with preemption enabled. This causes the following BUG:

BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ThriftIO1/5464
caller is tcp_make_synack+0x841/0xac0

Avoid calling __TCP_INC_STATS() with will touch per-cpu variables. Use TCP_INC_STATS() which is safe to be called from context switch.
