From f8d570a4745835f2238a33b537218a1bb03fc671 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Miller Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 00:37:40 -0800 Subject: net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy(). __scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.
