This causes havoc further down the road. In response to this problem, a patch was made that invoked sock_orphan on the socket when receiving a disconnect indication. This is not a good fix, as this sets sk_sleep to NULL, causing applications sleeping in recvmsg (and other places) to oops. This is against the latest net-2.6 and should be considered for -stable inclusion. Signed-off-by: Olaf Kirch Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
