    can: Fix kernel panic at security_sock_rcv_skb · f1712c73
    Eric Dumazet authored
    
    
    Zhang Yanmin reported crashes [1] and provided a patch adding a
    synchronize_rcu() call in can_rx_unregister()
    
    The main problem seems that the sockets themselves are not RCU
    protected.
    
    If CAN uses RCU for delivery, then sockets should be freed only after
    one RCU grace period.
    
    Recent kernels could use sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_RCU_FREE), but let's
    ease stable backports with the following fix instead.
