Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

The root cause is that vsock_find_bound_socket can't hold the lock_sock, so there is a small race window between vsock_find_bound_socket() and lock_sock(). If __vsock_release() is running in another task, sk->sk_socket will be set to NULL inadvertently. This fixes it by checking sk->sk_shutdown(suggested by Stefano) after lock_sock since sk->sk_shutdown is set to SHUTDOWN_MASK under the protection of lock_sock_nested.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
