When setting up a device, we can krealloc the config->socks array to add new sockets to the configuration. However if we happen to get a IO request in at this point even though we aren't setup we could hit a UAF, as we deref config->socks without any locking, assuming that the configuration was setup already and that ->socks is safe to access it as we have a reference on the configuration. But there's nothing really preventing IO from occurring at this point of the device setup, we don't want to incur the overhead of a lock to access ->socks when it will never change while the device is running. To fix this UAF scenario simply freeze the queue if we are adding sockets. This will protect us from this particular case without adding any additional overhead for the normal running case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
