[PATCH net 3/4] mptcp: fix NULL pointer dereference on fastopen early fallback

From: Matthieu Baerts
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 16:42:56 EST


From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

In case of early fallback to TCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() deletes
the subflow context before returning the newly allocated sock to
the caller.

The fastopen path does not cope with the above unconditionally
dereferencing the subflow context.

Fixes: 36b122baf6a8 ("mptcp: add subflow_v(4,6)_send_synack()")
