[ Upstream commit8c7138b33e] The "reuse->sock[]" array is shared by multiple sockets. The going away sk must unpublish itself from "reuse->sock[]" before making call_rcu() call. However, this unpublish-action is currently done after a grace period and it may cause use-after-free. The fix is to move reuseport_detach_sock() to sk_destruct(). Due to the above reason, any socket with sk_reuseport_cb has to go through the rcu grace period before freeing it. It is a rather old bug (~3 yrs). The Fixes tag is not necessary the right commit but it is the one that introduced the SOCK_RCU_FREE logic and this fix is depending on it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
