This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled af_unix: Use unix_recvq_full_lockless() in unix_stream_connect(). to the 5.4-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: af_unix-use-unix_recvq_full_lockless-in-unix_stream_.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 605cba8e2051f009e1aa6429c6c1c35ee7651c55 Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 4 09:52:38 2024 -0700 af_unix: Use unix_recvq_full_lockless() in unix_stream_connect(). [ Upstream commit 45d872f0e65593176d880ec148f41ad7c02e40a7 ] Once sk->sk_state is changed to TCP_LISTEN, it never changes. unix_accept() takes advantage of this characteristics; it does not hold the listener's unix_state_lock() and only acquires recvq lock to pop one skb. It means unix_state_lock() does not prevent the queue length from changing in unix_stream_connect(). Thus, we need to use unix_recvq_full_lockless() to avoid data-race. Now we remove unix_recvq_full() as no one uses it. Note that we can remove READ_ONCE() for sk->sk_max_ack_backlog in unix_recvq_full_lockless() because of the following reasons: (1) For SOCK_DGRAM, it is a written-once field in unix_create1() (2) For SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET, it is changed under the listener's unix_state_lock() in unix_listen(), and we hold the lock in unix_stream_connect() Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/net/unix/af_unix.c b/net/unix/af_unix.c index ec4c462a87f06..ae6aae983b8cb 100644 --- a/net/unix/af_unix.c +++ b/net/unix/af_unix.c @@ -189,15 +189,9 @@ static inline int unix_may_send(struct sock *sk, struct sock *osk) return unix_peer(osk) == NULL || unix_our_peer(sk, osk); } -static inline int unix_recvq_full(const struct sock *sk) -{ - return skb_queue_len(&sk->sk_receive_queue) > sk->sk_max_ack_backlog; -} - static inline int unix_recvq_full_lockless(const struct sock *sk) { - return skb_queue_len_lockless(&sk->sk_receive_queue) > - READ_ONCE(sk->sk_max_ack_backlog); + return skb_queue_len_lockless(&sk->sk_receive_queue) > sk->sk_max_ack_backlog; } struct sock *unix_peer_get(struct sock *s) @@ -1301,7 +1295,7 @@ static int unix_stream_connect(struct socket *sock, struct sockaddr *uaddr, if (other->sk_shutdown & RCV_SHUTDOWN) goto out_unlock; - if (unix_recvq_full(other)) { + if (unix_recvq_full_lockless(other)) { err = -EAGAIN; if (!timeo) goto out_unlock;
