CVE-2023-53121

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: tcp_make_synack() can be called from process context tcp_rtx_synack() now could be called in process context as explained in 0a375c822497 ("tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context"). tcp_rtx_synack() might call tcp_make_synack(), which will touch per-CPU variables with preemption enabled. This causes the following BUG: BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ThriftIO1/5464 caller is tcp_make_synack+0x841/0xac0 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x10d/0x1a0 check_preemption_disabled+0x104/0x110 tcp_make_synack+0x841/0xac0 tcp_v6_send_synack+0x5c/0x450 tcp_rtx_synack+0xeb/0x1f0 inet_rtx_syn_ack+0x34/0x60 tcp_check_req+0x3af/0x9e0 tcp_rcv_state_process+0x59b/0x2030 tcp_v6_do_rcv+0x5f5/0x700 release_sock+0x3a/0xf0 tcp_sendmsg+0x33/0x40 ____sys_sendmsg+0x2f2/0x490 __sys_sendmsg+0x184/0x230 do_syscall_64+0x3d/0x90 Avoid calling __TCP_INC_STATS() with will touch per-cpu variables.
