Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
kcm: annotate data-races around kcm->rx_psock<br />
<br />
kcm->rx_psock can be read locklessly in kcm_rfree().<br />
Annotate the read and writes accordingly.<br />
<br />
We do the same for kcm->rx_wait in the following patch.<br />
<br />
syzbot reported:<br />
