Subject: net: unix: properly re-increment inflight counter of GC discarded candidates
From: Andrey Ulanov <andreyu@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 7df9c24625b9981779afb8fcdbe2bb4765e61147 ]
Dmitry has reported that a BUG_ON() condition in unix_notinflight()
may be triggered by a simple code that forwards unix socket in an
SCM_RIGHTS message.
That is caused by incorrect unix socket GC implementation in unix_gc().
The GC first collects list of candidates, then (a) decrements their
"children's" inflight counter, (b) checks which inflight counters are
now 0, and then (c) increments all inflight counters back.
(a) and (c) are done by calling scan_children() with inc_inflight or
dec_inflight as the second argument.
Commit 6209344f5a37 ("net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage
collector") changed scan_children() such that it no longer considers
sockets that do not have UNIX_GC_CANDIDATE flag. It also added a block
of code that that unsets this flag _before_ invoking
scan_children(, dec_iflight, ). This may lead to incorrect inflight
counters for some sockets.
This change fixes this bug by changing order of operations:
UNIX_GC_CANDIDATE is now unset only after all inflight counters are
restored to the original state.
