IMPORTANT: if you fix the bug, please add the following tag to the commit: Reported-by: syzbot+065d0fc357520c8f6039@syzkaller.appspotmail.com It will help syzbot understand when the bug is fixed. See footer for details. If you forward the report, please keep this part and the footer.
James,
Did you fix this? You asked syzbot to test a fix for this bug some time ago. If yes, did you include the Reported-by tag in the commit? This bug is still considered open by syzbot. But it stopped happening ~4 months ago:
Yes, I think this has been fixed now. I think it was fixed by Guillaume's 6b9f34239b00e6956a267abed2bc559ede556ad6 that was actually to fix another syzbot bug fbeeb5c3b538e8545644 which looks similar to this one.
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=6fed0854381422329e78d7e16fb9cf4af8c9aef... We are also seeing these crashes in 4.4 and 4.9, it would be good to backport the fix.
It looks like 6b9f34239b00e6956a267abed2bc559ede556ad6 hasn't made it to 4.9 or 4.4.
Thanks for the update!
Let's tell syzbot that this is fixed:
#syz fix: l2tp: fix races in tunnel creation
Greg H: so this is probably the patch we need.
+Greg KH: I think we need this in stable, we hit this in both 4.4 and 4.9.
It's also needed in 4.14.y. But it doesn't apply to any of those kernel trees cleanly, can someone please provide a working backport?
thanks,
greg k-h
