Subject[PATCH 4.12 21/52] kcm: do not attach PF_KCM sockets to avoid deadlock
Date
4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


[ Upstream commit 351050ecd6523374b370341cc29fe61e2201556b ]

syzkaller had no problem to trigger a deadlock, attaching a KCM socket
to another one (or itself). (original syzkaller report was a very
confusing lockdep splat during a sendmsg())

It seems KCM claims to only support TCP, but no enforcement is done,
so we might need to add additional checks.
