This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel. It should go in 2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series. This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many distros seem to be making it the default. The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available. It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither of these set. It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the spin_lock. They could be cleared immediately after the test and before the lock is gained. This normally shouldn't be a problem. The sockets are non-blocking so trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem. However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not. This usually works but is not safe. The decision should be based on whether it is a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.
