tp->fastopen_req could potentially be double freed if a malicious
user does the following:
1. Enable TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT sockopt and do a connect() on the socket.
2. Call connect() with AF_UNSPEC to disconnect the socket.
3. Make this socket a listening socket by calling listen().
4. Accept incoming connections and generate child sockets. All child
   sockets will get a copy of the pointer of fastopen_req.
5. Call close() on all sockets. fastopen_req will get freed multiple
   times.

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.
