Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] virtio_vsock: Fix race condition in
virtio_transport_recv_pkt()

quoted

This fixes it by checking sk->sk_shutdown(suggested by Stefano) after
lock_sock since sk->sk_shutdown is set to SHUTDOWN_MASK under the
protection of lock_sock_nested.

How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

  Thus check the data structure member “sk_shutdown” (suggested by Stefano)
  after a call of the function “lock_sock” since this field is set to
  “SHUTDOWN_MASK” under the protection of “lock_sock_nested”.

Okay, will update the commit msg.

Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?

Sure.

Thanks
