Subject: [PATCH 5.17 115/298] tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 0a375c822497ed6ad6b5da0792a12a6f1af10c0b ]

Laurent reported the enclosed report [1]

This bug triggers with following coditions:

0) Kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y

1) A new passive FastOpen TCP socket is created.
   This FO socket waits for an ACK coming from client to be a complete
   ESTABLISHED one.
2) A socket operation on this socket goes through lock_sock()
   release_sock() dance.
3) While the socket is owned by the user in step 2),
   a retransmit of the SYN is received and stored in socket backlog.
4) At release_sock() time, the socket backlog is processed while
   in process context.
5) A SYNACK packet is cooked in response of the SYN retransmit.
6) -> tcp_rtx_synack() is called in process context.

Before blamed commit, tcp_rtx_synack() was always called from BH handler,
from a timer handler.

Fix this by using TCP_INC_STATS() & NET_INC_STATS()
which do not assume caller is in non preemptible context.
