memstick: rtsx_usb_ms: complete requests after eject instead of dropping them
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memstick: rtsx_usb_ms: complete requests after eject instead of dropping them
memstick_check() can pass its host->removing check just before
rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove() sets eject/removing. Its next request is then
silently dropped: rtsx_usb_ms_request() skips schedule_work() once eject
is set, and drv_remove's cancel_work_sync() can also cancel a queued
handle_req before it picks the request up. Nobody completes
card->mrq_complete.
Once memstick core waits for requests without a timeout ("memstick: core:
wait for request completion before freeing card"), this hangs removal:
memstick_check() never returns and memstick_remove_host() blocks in
flush_workqueue():
INFO: task kworker/u10:3:65 blocked for more than 20 seconds.
Workqueue: kmemstick memstick_check
__wait_for_common
memstick_check
INFO: task kworker/1:1:33 blocked for more than 20 seconds.
Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event
__flush_workqueue
memstick_remove_host
rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove
Never drop a request. rtsx_usb_ms_request() always schedules handle_req,
and handle_req fails requests with -ENOMEDIUM once eject is set, without
touching the device. drv_remove flushes handle_req instead of cancelling
it, and cancels it only after memstick_remove_host(), when no new
request can arrive, so it cannot run on a freed host.
The host_mutex drain in drv_remove is removed: handle_req always leaves
host->req NULL when it finishes, so the drain never had anything to do,
and it would now race with handle_req.

net/packet: guard the ll header push in packet_rcv_spkt()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/packet: guard the ll header push in packet_rcv_spkt()
packet_rcv_spkt() restores the link layer header with
skb_push(skb, skb->data - skb_mac_header(skb));
That subtraction is only meaningful when the device actually has a link
layer header. packet_rcv() and tpacket_rcv() both wrap it in
dev_has_header(), which is also the predicate the block comment at the
top of the file states the restore in terms of; packet_rcv_spkt() does
not. commit d549699048b4 ("net/packet: fix packet receive on L3
devices without visible hard header") introduced the helper and changed
the two call sites, and this one stayed behind.
A device without a visible ll header can leave skb->mac_header at the
0xFFFF sentinel that __alloc_skb() initialises it to. A CAN skb does:
init_can_skb() sets pkt_type and ip_summed but does not reset the
headers, and commit 9f10374bb024 ("can: remove private CAN skb
headroom infrastructure") dropped the skb_reset_*_header() calls that
used to be there. skb_mac_header() is then 0xFFFF, the length becomes
a large negative number and skb_push() reports it through
skb_under_panic() -- from softirq context, so it is a full system panic
even with panic_on_oops=0:
skbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffffffff8bd21bc1 len:-65455 put:-65471 head:... data:... tail:0x50 end:0x180 dev:can0

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
The socket type is reachable: packet_create() accepts SOCK_PACKET
alongside SOCK_RAW and SOCK_DGRAM behind the same CAP_NET_RAW check,
and neither the socket length nor a capability check keeps it away
from a CAN interface.
The missing skb_reset_*_header() calls in init_can_skb() are a
regression in their own right and are being fixed separately, but a
packet socket should not turn a link layer that did not initialise its
mac header into a kernel panic. Guard the push the way the other two
receive paths do.
Tested on v7.3-rc5 under QEMU with a slcan device on a pty, which is
the driver RX path: vcan does not reproduce it, because can_send()
resets the headers on the way out. One SOCK_PACKET socket bound to
can0 and one frame written into the line discipline panics an
unpatched kernel with the trace above; the same image with this patch
prints no panic and powers off normally. Both kernels are this tree,
defconfig plus CONFIG_CAN_SLCAN=y, differing only in this hunk.

dm-crypt: reject the lmk IV mode with AEAD ciphers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-crypt: reject the lmk IV mode with AEAD ciphers
A "capi:" table line that pairs an AEAD cipher with the lmk IV mode,
for example "capi:gcm(aes)-lmk" with the integrity:28:aead option,
causes an oops when it is loaded. lmk sets tfms_count to 64, but
crypt_alloc_tfms_aead only allocates one transform, so crypt_setkey
reads past the end of the tfms_aead array and calls crypto_aead_setkey
on the values it finds there.
lmk exists for compatibility with Loop-AES, which uses CBC, so refuse
it with an AEAD cipher rather than allocate 64 AEAD transforms. The
check cannot go in crypt_iv_lmk_ctr with the other lmk checks, because
the IV constructor runs after crypt_set_key.
Note that this is not a security bug because the memory corruption can
only be triggered by root.

dm: fix reading free memory in do_resume
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix reading free memory in do_resume
When do_resume calls dm_table_get_mode(new_map), the call is done without
holding any locks (it only holds a reference to the md). It may be
possible that another concurrent ioctl on the same device will swap table
after dm_swap_table and before dm_table_get_mode. In this case,
dm_table_get_mode(new_map) reads freed memory.
This race condition was triggered by syzbot.
This commit fixes the race by reading mode of the new table before
dm_swap_table. Note that new_map is also passed to dm_ima_need_measure,
but this function doesn't attempt to dereference it, so this call should
be safe.
Note that this is not a security bug because only root can trigger it and
the commonly used tools such as lvm or cryptsetup do not call the ioctls
concurrently, so that they can't trigger it acceidentally.

mmc: mtk-sd: Cancel request timeout work on remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: mtk-sd: Cancel request timeout work on remove
The driver queues req_timeout while a request is active.
msdc_request_done() uses cancel_delayed_work(), which does not wait for
a timeout callback that has already started.
The timeout callback calls mmc_request_done(), which wakes the request
waiter, and then continues to use host->dev_comp and check the SDIO IRQ.
During unbind, msdc_drv_remove() can return and the managed mmc_host can
be freed before the callback finishes.
KASAN reported use-after-free accesses in msdc_request_done() and
msdc_recheck_sdio_irq() in each of three unbind tests. The same tests
completed without a kernel diagnostic after this change.
Call cancel_delayed_work_sync() after mmc_remove_host() has stopped new
requests and before the driver releases the host resources.

mmc: sdhci-sprd: disable runtime PM on remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: sdhci-sprd: disable runtime PM on remove
sdhci_sprd_probe() enables runtime PM, while sdhci_sprd_remove() does
not perform the corresponding runtime PM cleanup.
The probe failure path disables runtime PM before disabling the clocks,
but the normal remove path directly disables clocks that are also
managed by the runtime PM callbacks. If the device is runtime
suspended, those clocks may already be disabled.
Resume the device before removal, disable runtime PM and drop the
temporary runtime PM reference before disabling the clocks.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.

net/smc: protect clcsock lifetime in smc_getname
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: protect clcsock lifetime in smc_getname
smc_getname() dereferences smc->clcsock without holding
clcsock_release_lock. Link-group termination can release the CLC socket
through smc_close_active_abort() while the SMC socket is still open,
for example after shutdown(SHUT_WR).
A getsockname() caller can load smc->clcsock, then the termination worker
can clear the pointer and call sock_release() before the caller accesses
clcsock->ops or invokes getname(). This causes a use-after-free; if the
worker clears the pointer before the load, it causes a NULL dereference.
The syscall's file reference keeps the SMC socket alive but does not
prevent asynchronous release of its CLC socket.
KASAN reported the following with test-only timing instrumentation:

net: bridge: avoid recursive multicast port cleanup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: avoid recursive multicast port cleanup
br_multicast_sg_del_exclude_ports() removes automatically added STAR_EXCL
port groups by calling br_multicast_del_pg(). For S,G entries, that
deletion calls back into br_multicast_sg_del_exclude_ports(), so a large
number of STAR_EXCL ports consumes one kernel stack frame per port and can
hit the stack guard page.
Keep the complete port-group deletion path for cleanup, but suppress the
S,G exclude-port cleanup while that helper is already walking the same
entry. Normal deletion callers retain the existing behavior.

net: skbuff: don't leave stale bytes in skb_copy_and_csum_bits()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: skbuff: don't leave stale bytes in skb_copy_and_csum_bits()
When skb_copy_and_csum_bits() reaches unreadable frags it returns 0
after copying only the linear part, and the rest of the caller's buffer
is left as it was. The callers copy into a buffer that is about to go
out on the wire: an ICMP error quoting the offending packet, or a
driver's TX bounce buffer in skb_copy_and_csum_dev(). Neither buffer
is zeroed beforehand, so whatever was in memory there gets sent.
Zero the part of the buffer we didn't fill. The checksum usually
won't match the data any more, so the receiver will usually drop the
packet, but either way it no longer carries anything it shouldn't.
Only zero for a positive @len, a negative one from a broken caller must
not turn into a huge memset().

net: sparx5: free the matchall entry on destroy
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sparx5: free the matchall entry on destroy
sparx5_tc_matchall_replace() allocates a struct sparx5_mall_entry for
every offloaded matchall filter and adds it to sparx5->mall_entries.
sparx5_tc_matchall_destroy() removes the entry from the list, but never
frees it, so the entry of every deleted mirror and goto matchall filter
is leaked.
Free the entry after unlinking it.
The leak was discovered by an AI code review agent, and reproduced with
kmemleak on a lan969x EV board (EV23X71A) by repeatedly adding and
deleting matchall mirror and goto filters. With the fix, kmemleak no
longer reports the leak.

net: xilinx: axienet: Free outstanding DMA buffers on dmaengine stop
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: xilinx: axienet: Free outstanding DMA buffers on dmaengine stop
In the dmaengine path the driver pre-submits RX buffers and holds
in-flight TX buffers whose SKBs are DMA-mapped by the driver and freed
only in the completion callbacks. On ndo_stop() dmaengine_terminate_sync()
aborts these descriptors without running their callbacks, and the driver
then frees only the ring shells, leaking every SKB still owned by the
engine and its DMA mapping on each ifdown. With 128 RX buffers pre-posted
per channel, the mapping leak can eventually exhaust a limited IOMMU
aperture.
Clear the slot's skb in the TX and RX callbacks so a non-NULL skb marks a
slot that still owns a live, DMA-mapped buffer, and on stop unmap and free
every such buffer.
axienet_dma_rx_cb() runs from the DMA tasklet and re-arms the RX ring on
each completion, so it can race axienet_stop(): a completion may submit a
fresh buffer after dmaengine_terminate_sync() has returned, leaving the
channel armed with a buffer the teardown then frees while the engine may
still write into it (dma_release_channel() does not stop it either). Add a
lock that axienet_dma_rx_cb() holds across the @stopping check and the
resubmit, and axienet_stop() holds to set @stopping before terminating.
Once @stopping is set no callback can arm a new buffer, and any armed just
before is aborted by the terminate, so teardown only frees buffers the
engine no longer owns.

When an override port's qdisc drops it, the queue override helper used to
try another port or the mode transmit op with the freed skb.
Return the handoff decision separately from transmit success. Select only
the first override port under RCU and stop after handing it the skb,
regardless of the lower transmit result. Keep the existing success and

net: team: free skb when broadcast has no txable port
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: team: free skb when broadcast has no txable port
bc_transmit() sends the original skb through the last txable port.
When no port is txable, it returns false without consuming the skb, but
team_xmit() still returns NETDEV_TX_OK. AF_PACKET sends then retain the
skb and its socket write-memory charge.
A TX-enabled, link-down port keeps the broadcast transmit op installed.
Carrier can stay up through a second link-up, TX-disabled port or be
forced on by userspace. Free the original skb on the no-port path while
leaving the existing drop accounting intact.

openvswitch: fix soft lockup in the netlink flow dump
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: fix soft lockup in the netlink flow dump
A production compute node carrying a few thousand datapath flows hit a
soft lockup inside a single netlink flow dump and panicked.
ovs_flow_cmd_dump() calls ovs_flow_stats_get() for every flow it
emits, and that releases stats->lock with spin_unlock_bh() once per
CPU that has touched the flow. Every release is a local_bh_enable(),
and each one runs the pending softirq backlog in the dumping thread's
own context.
The skb bounds the flows one callback emits, but not the softirq work
it absorbs. On a CPU that carries the box's packet load the backlog
refills as fast as it drains, so the dumping thread becomes that CPU's
softirq engine. It never sleeps and it has no reschedule point, so
under voluntary preemption nothing can take the CPU away from it:
neither the ksoftirqd the kernel woke to take the work over, nor the
stopper thread the softlockup detector dispatches to refresh its
timestamp.
Hold BH off across the whole callback instead, the way
ctnetlink_dump_table() does, so the nested spin_unlock_bh() stop
draining softirqs. The loop already runs under rcu_read_lock() and
cannot sleep. What it gives up is preemption under CONFIG_PREEMPT,
since a BH-off region is not preemptible outside PREEMPT_RT. The
region stays short: the skb caps the flows one callback emits, and
empty buckets cost no skb space but are each visited once per dump, as
the cursor only moves forward. The table grows on insert and shrinks
only on flush, so the walk is bounded by the largest flow count the
datapath has held. The softirq backlog the callback used to absorb has
no bound at all.

optee: register TEE devices only once fully initialized
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
optee: register TEE devices only once fully initialized
optee_probe() called tee_device_register() on both the client and the
supplicant device before the rest of struct optee had been initialized.
tee_device_register() calls cdev_device_add(), which does two things at
once: it creates /dev/tee0 and /dev/teepriv0, and it links the device
into the tee class so that class_find_device() can find it. From that
moment on the device is reachable both from user space via tee_open()
and from kernel space via tee_client_open_context(). The only gate in
teedev_open() is tee_device_get(), which merely checks that
teedev->desc is non-NULL, which was already set by tee_device_alloc().
Therefore, there is effectively no gate at all.
A context opened in that window can run against a struct optee where
- optee->call_queue.mutex is not initialized by optee_cq_init()
- optee->supp mutex and completions is not initialized by
optee_supp_init()
- optee->rpmb_dev_mutex is not initialized yet,
- the message argument cache is not initialized by
optee_shm_arg_cache_init()
- optee->ctx is still NULL
Any open session or invoke during this window takes uninitialized
mutexes and dereferences a NULL pointer.
Fix it by moving both tee_device_register() calls down to the point
where all of struct optee is set up.

regulator: ltc3676: don't read the write-only HRST and CLIRQ registers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: ltc3676: don't read the write-only HRST and CLIRQ registers
HRST (0x1e) and CLIRQ (0x1f) are write-only command strobes. Writing HRST
triggers a hard reset of the chip and writing CLIRQ clears the interrupt;
reading them returns nothing useful, and the read itself fires the command.
The result is that a plain register dump resets the board:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/2-003c/registers
walks every readable register, hits HRST, and the board reboots.
Split the callback back in two so HRST and CLIRQ stay writable but are no
longer readable. The readable range is left unchanged
(LTC3676_BUCK1 ... LTC3676_IRQSTAT).

regulator: of: fill in supply names in of_regulator_bulk_get_all()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: of: fill in supply names in of_regulator_bulk_get_all()
of_regulator_bulk_get_all() returns an array it allocated itself, and
fills in only the consumer of each entry. Every other way of getting a
bulk array has the supply name set, because the caller provides it, and
the core expects it to be there: regulator_bulk_enable() prints it when
a supply fails to enable, so a caller that hands such an array to it
dereferences uninitialised memory on that path.
Copy each name into the array's own allocation, right behind the
entries, so that it shares the array's lifetime and callers still have
nothing extra to free. That also retires the fixed 64 byte stack buffer
the names were assembled in, which is_supply_name() never bounded the
copy against.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: tps6594-regulator: Fix n_linear_ranges for TPS65224 BUCK2-4
The TPS65224 BUCK2, BUCK3 and BUCK4 descriptors pass 4 as
n_linear_ranges, but tps65224_bucks_2_3_4_ranges[] only has two
entries, covering selectors 0x00-0x45.
The linear range helpers loop over n_linear_ranges entries, so any
lookup of a selector above 0x45 reads past the end of the array and
treats whatever follows it as two more ranges. This happens on the
normal registration path when the core checks the voltage constraints
against every selector. TPS652G1 uses the same descriptors and is
affected too.
Use ARRAY_SIZE() so the count always matches the table.

scsi: ch: Do not keep references to data transfer element devices
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ch: Do not keep references to data transfer element devices
ch_readconfig() looks up the scsi_device of every data transfer element
whose SCSI id the changer reports in READ ELEMENT STATUS, and stores it in
ch->dt[]. scsi_device_lookup() takes a reference, and nothing ever drops
it: ch_destroy() frees the array with kfree(). ch->dt[] is read nowhere
else - it only supplies the vendor, model and revision printed in the same
loop.
Once such a drive is removed, its scsi_device can never be released. It
stays on the host's device list at its address, so a new device there is
refused by anything that walks the list - target_core_pscsi reports
"scsi_device_get() failed for H:C:T:L" - and the low-level driver's module
can no longer be unloaded. Only a reboot recovers.
It shows with any changer that reports its drives' ids; with the mhvtl
virtual library (IBM 3573-TL personality), each create and remove of a
library with four drives leaves four references behind, counted by the
module's use count in lsmod. With ch not bound the count is unchanged, and
with this patch applied it is unchanged too.
Drop the reference as soon as the name has been printed, and remove the now
unused dt[] array. That also removes the array leaked when ch_probe() fails
after ch_readconfig().
The same leak was reported with an RFC patch in 2022, which was not merged.

riscv: entry: gate shadow call stack reload on sstatus.SPP, not tp
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: entry: gate shadow call stack reload on sstatus.SPP, not tp
Under CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK, handle_exception() reloads the kernel
shadow call stack pointer (gp) only when the trap came from userspace.
It made that decision with scs_load_current_if_task_changed, which
compares the trap-time tp (read back from sscratch into s5) against the
current tp:
beq \prev, tp, _skip_scs
scs_load_current
_skip_scs:
tp is a user-writable register. A user task that sets tp to the
linear-map address of its own task_struct (¤t) before trapping
makes the comparison succeed (can achieve by brute force with KASLR
enable under our test), so the kernel skips scs_load_current and
keeps running with the gp that userspace left in place. Under
CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK gp is the shadow call stack pointer and
load_global_pointer is a no-op, so the compiler-emitted
"sd ra, -8(gp)" / "ld ra, -8(gp)" in every non-leaf function then write
to, and return through, an attacker-controlled address -- an
unprivileged kernel arbitrary-write and control-flow-hijack primitive.
The poisoned gp is saved to task_struct.scs_sp on return, so the reload
is skipped on every subsequent entry as well.
Decide "came from userspace" from the hardware sstatus.SPP bit (already
in s1 at this point) instead of from tp, mirroring the check that
ret_from_exception already uses a few instructions later. SPP is
written by hardware on trap entry and cannot be forged from U-mode.
Legitimate behaviour is unchanged: user entries (SPP=0) reload the task
shadow call stack, nested kernel entries (SPP=1) skip it.

riscv: errata: select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE_EARLY for THEAD GHOSTWRITE
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: errata: select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE_EARLY for THEAD GHOSTWRITE
errata_probe_ghostwrite() only marks the CPU as vulnerable when it is
called at the RISCV_ALTERNATIVES_EARLY_BOOT stage, and the mitigation
in ghostwrite_enable_mitigation() only takes effect if the vulnerable
state was recorded before the boot alternatives are patched.
The early boot stage is only executed when CONFIG_RISCV_ALTERNATIVE_EARLY
is enabled, which currently is only selected by ERRATA_THEAD_MAE. In a
kernel built with ERRATA_THEAD_GHOSTWRITE=y but ERRATA_THEAD_MAE=n, the
early alternatives never run, so ghostwrite_state is never set to
VULNERABLE: ghostwrite_enable_mitigation() returns false, xtheadvector

riscv: futex: untag the user pointer before the atomic access
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: futex: untag the user pointer before the atomic access
access_ok() checks untagged_addr(uaddr), but arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()
and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() hand the raw uaddr to the inline asm
amoswap/amoadd/.../lr.w+sc.w through the "+m" (*uaddr) operand. When the
tagged address ABI is enabled (CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_SUPM, prctl
PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL with PMLEN != 0), those two addresses differ: a
user pointer whose top PMLEN bits hold a tag passes access_ok() after
untagging, but the atomic is then performed on the still-tagged raw
address.
Supervisor-mode data accesses are not subject to the U-mode pointer
masking (that is governed by menvcfg.PMM, which the kernel does not set),
so hardware does not strip the tag for the kernel's own access. With
Sv57 and PMLEN=16 the tag bits overlap the canonical-address bits, so a
tagged pointer can name a canonical kernel virtual address (e.g. in the
linear map) whose untagged form is a valid user address. An unprivileged
process can thus make FUTEX_WAKE_OP perform an atomic read-modify-write on
an arbitrary kernel address, with the matching FUTEX_OP_CMP_* result
serving as a read oracle.
get_user()/put_user()/raw_copy_{to,from}_user() already untag the pointer
after the access_ok() check; do the same in the futex helpers so the
atomic operates on the address that was actually validated.

Bluetooth: hci_sock: Serialize dead-device detachment
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sock: Serialize dead-device detachment
Rebinding an HCI socket after its controller is unregistered can race
monitor control replay and crash the kernel. hci_sock_bind() clears
hci_pi(sk)->hdev and drops the device reference under only the socket
lock, whereas send_monitor_control_replay() holds hci_sk_list.lock for
reading.
Replay can observe a non-NULL hdev, then bind can clear it and drop the
last reference before create_monitor_ctrl_open() reads hdev->id. This
can cause a NULL pointer dereference if the pointer is reloaded, or a
use-after-free if the old pointer is retained.
The kernel reported:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000068-0x000000000000006f]
RIP: 0010:create_monitor_ctrl_open+0x579/0x800

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
The same missing serialization lets hci_send_to_sock() select a socket
for the old device and queue its frame after bind has detached the socket
or installed a new binding.
Take hci_sk_list.lock for writing when clearing the device pointer and
resetting the socket state. This waits for existing replay and delivery
readers to finish before detachment and prevents later readers from
using the old binding. Keep hci_dev_put() outside the critical section
because the final device release can sleep.

Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix command skb lifetime during scan setup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix command skb lifetime during scan setup
During PA sync scan setup, hci_le_set_ext_scan_param_sync() gets the
address used for the PA_LINK lookup from hci_sent_cmd_data(). The
returned pointer borrows storage from sent_cmd or req_skb, without
holding a reference to either skb.
The scan worker runs on req_workqueue while hci_cmd_work() runs on the
separate device workqueue. After the scan worker loads sent_cmd, the
command worker can free and replace it before hci_sent_cmd_data()
dereferences the skb. The command payload can also be freed between
returning from the helper and comparing the address. The connection
lookup's RCU critical section does not protect the command skb.
KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_sent_cmd_data+0x27c/0x2f0

Use hdev->lock to serialize the address snapshot with sent_cmd
replacement. Protect req_skb replacement and completion cleanup with
the same lock because the helper falls back to that skb. Copy the
address before releasing the lock and use the copy for the existing
RCU-protected connection lookup. Release the mutex before sending or
waiting for commands, preserving the lookup and completion ordering.
