Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Commit 86fdb344 ("sctp: ensure ep is not destroyed before doing the dump") tried to fix an use-after-free issue by checking !sctp_sk(sk)->ep with holding sock and sock lock. But Paolo noticed that endpoint could be destroyed in sctp_rcv without sock lock protection. It means the use-after-free issue still could be triggered when sctp_rcv put and destroy ep after sctp_sock_dump checks !ep, although it's pretty hard to reproduce. I could reproduce it by mdelay in sctp_rcv while msleep in sctp_close and sctp_sock_dump long time. This patch is to add another param cb_done to sctp_for_each_transport and dump ep->assocs with holding tsp after jumping out of transport's traversal in it to avoid this issue. It can also improve sctp diag dump to make it run faster, as no need to save sk into cb->args[5] and keep calling sctp_for_each_transport any more. This patch is also to use int * instead of int for the pos argument in sctp_for_each_transport, which could make postion increment only in sctp_for_each_transport and no need to keep changing cb->args[2] in sctp_sock_filter and sctp_sock_dump any more.
