Subject: sctp: use the right sk after waking up from wait_buf sleep
From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit cea0cc80a6777beb6eb643d4ad53690e1ad1d4ff ]
Commit dfcb9f4f99f1 ("sctp: deny peeloff operation on asocs with threads
sleeping on it") fixed the race between peeloff and wait sndbuf by
checking waitqueue_active(&asoc->wait) in sctp_do_peeloff().
But it actually doesn't work, as even if waitqueue_active returns false
the waiting sndbuf thread may still not yet hold sk lock. After asoc is
peeled off, sk is not asoc->base.sk any more, then to hold the old sk
lock couldn't make assoc safe to access.
This patch is to fix this by changing to hold the new sk lock if sk is
not asoc->base.sk, meanwhile, also set the sk in sctp_sendmsg with the
new sk.
With this fix, there is no more race between peeloff and waitbuf, the
check 'waitqueue_active' in sctp_do_peeloff can be removed.
Thanks Marcelo and Neil for making this clear.
v1->v2:
fix it by changing to lock the new sock instead of adding a flag in asoc.
