+Subject: [PATCH] socket: close race condition between sock_close() and
+ sockfs_setattr()
+
+fchownat() doesn't even hold refcnt of fd until it figures out
+fd is really needed (otherwise is ignored) and releases it after
+it resolves the path. This means sock_close() could race with
+sockfs_setattr(), which leads to a NULL pointer dereference
+since typically we set sock->sk to NULL in ->release().
+
+As pointed out by Al, this is unique to sockfs. So we can fix this
+in socket layer by acquiring inode_lock in sock_close() and
+checking against NULL in sockfs_setattr().
+
+sock_release() is called in many places, only the sock_close()
+path matters here. And fortunately, this should not affect normal
+sock_close() as it is only called when the last fd refcnt is gone.
+It only affects sock_close() with a parallel sockfs_setattr() in
+progress, which is not common.
+
+Fixes: 86741ec25462 ("net: core: Add a UID field to struct sock.")
