Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf, sockmap: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()<br />
<br />
syzbot reported the following NULL pointer dereference issue [1]:<br />
<br />
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000<br />
[...]<br />
RIP: 0010:0x0<br />

Call Trace:<br />

<br />
If sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() and sk_psock_stop_verdict() are called<br />
concurrently, psock->saved_data_ready can be NULL, causing the above issue.<br />
<br />
This patch fixes this issue by calling the appropriate data ready function<br />
using the sk_psock_data_ready() helper and protecting it from concurrency<br />
with sk->sk_callback_lock.
