In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix soft lookup in subflow_error_report()
Maxim reported a soft lookup in subflow_error_report():

The calling function - mptcp_subflow_data_available() - can be invoked
from different contexts:
- plain ssk socket lock
- ssk socket lock + mptcp_data_lock
- ssk socket lock + mptcp_data_lock + msk socket lock.
Since subflow_error_report() tries to acquire the mptcp_data_lock, the
latter two call chains will cause soft lookup.
This change addresses the issue moving the error reporting call to
outer functions, where the held locks list is known and the we can
acquire only the needed one.
