Both tcp_v4_err() and tcp_v6_err() do the following operations
while they do not own the socket lock :
fastopen = tp->fastopen_rsk;
snd_una = fastopen ? tcp_rsk(fastopen)->snt_isn : tp->snd_una;
The problem is that without appropriate barrier, the compiler
might reload tp->fastopen_rsk and trigger a NULL deref.
request sockets are protected by RCU, we can simply add
the missing annotations and barriers to solve the issue.
Fixes: 168a8f5805 ("tcp: TCP Fast Open Server - main code path")

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.
