In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: tcp_make_synack() can be called from process context
tcp_rtx_synack() now could be called in process context as explained in
0a375c822497 ("tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process
context").
tcp_rtx_synack() might call tcp_make_synack(), which will touch per-CPU
variables with preemption enabled. This causes the following BUG:
BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ThriftIO1/5464
caller is tcp_make_synack+0x841/0xac0
Call Trace:

Avoid calling __TCP_INC_STATS() with will touch per-cpu variables. Use
TCP_INC_STATS() which is safe to be called from context switch.
