Ilya Dryomov 7563d6f2be libceph: validate con->state at the top of try_write()
commit 9c55ad1c21 upstream.

ceph_con_workfn() validates con->state before calling try_read() and
then try_write().  However, try_read() temporarily releases con->mutex,
notably in process_message() and ceph_con_in_msg_alloc(), opening the
window for ceph_con_close() to sneak in, close the connection and
release con->sock.  When try_write() is called on the assumption that
con->state is still valid (i.e. not STANDBY or CLOSED), a NULL sock
gets passed to the networking stack:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
  IP: selinux_socket_sendmsg+0x5/0x20

Make sure con->state is valid at the top of try_write() and add an
explicit BUG_ON for this, similar to try_read().

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.
