There is a bug in the bpf_iter_udp_batch() function that stops
the userspace from making forward progress.
The case that triggers the bug is the userspace passed in
a very small read buffer. When the bpf prog does bpf_seq_printf,
the userspace read buffer is not enough to capture the whole bucket.
When the read buffer is not large enough, the kernel will remember
the offset of the bucket in iter->offset such that the next userspace
read() can continue from where it left off.
The kernel will skip the number (== "iter->offset") of sockets in
the next read(). However, the code directly decrements the
"--iter->offset". This is incorrect because the next read() may
not consume the whole bucket either and then the next-next read()
will start from offset 0. The net effect is the userspace will
keep reading from the beginning of a bucket and the process will
never finish. "iter->offset" must always go forward until the
whole bucket is consumed.
This patch fixes it by using a local variable "resume_offset"
and "resume_bucket". "iter->offset" is always reset to 0 before
it may be used. "iter->offset" will be advanced to the
"resume_offset" when it continues from the "resume_bucket" (i.e.
"state->bucket == resume_bucket"). This brings it closer to
the bpf_iter_tcp's offset handling which does not suffer
the same bug.
