Subject: rds: tcp: Sequence teardown of listen and acceptor sockets to avoid races
From: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit b21dd4506b71bdb9c5a20e759255cd2513ea7ebe ]
Commit a93d01f5777e ("RDS: TCP: avoid bad page reference in
rds_tcp_listen_data_ready") added the function
rds_tcp_listen_sock_def_readable() to handle the case when a
partially set-up acceptor socket drops into rds_tcp_listen_data_ready().
However, if the listen socket (rtn->rds_tcp_listen_sock) is itself going
through a tear-down via rds_tcp_listen_stop(), the (*ready)() will be
null and we would hit a panic of the form
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: (null)
:
? rds_tcp_listen_data_ready+0x59/0xb0 [rds_tcp]
tcp_data_queue+0x39d/0x5b0
tcp_rcv_established+0x2e5/0x660
tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x122/0x220
tcp_v4_rcv+0x8b7/0x980
:
In the above case, it is not fatal to encounter a NULL value for
ready- we should just drop the packet and let the flush of the
acceptor thread finish gracefully.
In general, the tear-down sequence for listen() and accept() socket
that is ensured by this commit is:
rtn->rds_tcp_listen_sock = NULL; /* prevent any new accepts */
In rds_tcp_listen_stop():
serialize with, and prevent, further callbacks using lock_sock()
flush rds_wq
flush acceptor workq
sock_release(listen socket)
