This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: avoid the lookup process failing to get sk in ehash table to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tcp-avoid-the-lookup-process-failing-to-get-sk-in-eh.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 69ca0d63362ece010dac429164b856e01b5e3f31 Author: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 18 09:59:41 2023 +0800 tcp: avoid the lookup process failing to get sk in ehash table [ Upstream commit 3f4ca5fafc08881d7a57daa20449d171f2887043 ] While one cpu is working on looking up the right socket from ehash table, another cpu is done deleting the request socket and is about to add (or is adding) the big socket from the table. It means that we could miss both of them, even though it has little chance. Let me draw a call trace map of the server side. CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- tcp_v4_rcv() syn_recv_sock() inet_ehash_insert() -> sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu(osk) __inet_lookup_established() -> __sk_nulls_add_node_rcu(sk, list) Notice that the CPU 0 is receiving the data after the final ack during 3-way shakehands and CPU 1 is still handling the final ack. Why could this be a real problem? This case is happening only when the final ack and the first data receiving by different CPUs. Then the server receiving data with ACK flag tries to search one proper established socket from ehash table, but apparently it fails as my map shows above. After that, the server fetches a listener socket and then sends a RST because it finds a ACK flag in the skb (data), which obeys RST definition in RFC 793. Besides, Eric pointed out there's one more race condition where it handles tw socket hashdance. Only by adding to the tail of the list before deleting the old one can we avoid the race if the reader has already begun the bucket traversal and it would possibly miss the head. Many thanks to Eric for great help from beginning to end.
