Hello,

when trying to execute a remote firefox (from a debian based system) via
ssh(1) the kernel panics immediately.
Executing xlock(1) from the same remote system does not trigger the panic.

The kernel is a
 13.0-CURRENT #1 r356122M: Fri Dec 27 14:55:13 CET 2019
 root@myhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC-NODEBUG

and the panic backtrace is always like

The linuxkpi file close function doesn't handle a null thread argument.  As noted in e.g., closef() and devfs_close_f(), the unix domain socket code passes a null thread pointer to fo_close, so linux_file_close() should try to handle it.  I think using curthread is fine in this case.

Affects sys/compat/linuxkpi, so assign to emulation@.

(In reply to Mark Johnston from comment #1)
Just to be sure I have reproduced the panic. Applied your patch and tried again.
With your patch applied the panic does not happen any more.

Thank you.

Should I close this bug report now or wait till the patch is in the repository?

(In reply to iz-rpi03 from comment #3)
Thanks for testing.  I'll close the PR once the patch is committed and merged to a stable branch.

  Handle a NULL thread pointer in linux_close_file().

  This can happen if a file is closed during unix socket GC.  The same bug
  was fixed for devfs descriptors in r228361.

Hi,

The errata notice has broken links for this.

https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-20:14.linuxkpi.asc

I believe the links are correct, however the patch and corresponding signature file are misspelled. They  should be "kpi" instead of "pki" (just like the errata notice link, itself which is also misspelled).

Thank you,

Teran
