So, this bug got introduced partly in 2.3.15, which is when
we SMP threaded the networking stack.
The error check was present in inet_sendmsg() previously, it
looked like this:
int inet_sendmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, int size,
struct scm_cookie *scm)
{
struct sock *sk = sock->sk;
if (sk->shutdown & SEND_SHUTDOWN) {
if (!(msg->msg_flags&MSG_NOSIGNAL))
send_sig(SIGPIPE, current, 1);
return(-EPIPE);
}
if (sk->prot->sendmsg == NULL)
return(-EOPNOTSUPP);
if(sk->err)
return sock_error(sk);
/* We may need to bind the socket. */
if (inet_autobind(sk) != 0)
return -EAGAIN;
return sk->prot->sendmsg(sk, msg, size);
}
I believe the idea was to move the sk->err check down into
tcp_sendmsg().
But this raises a major issue.
What in the world are we doing allowing stream sockets to autobind?
That is totally bogus. Even if we autobind, that won't make a connect
happen.
There is logic down in TCP to handle all of these details properly
as long as we don't do this bogus autobind stuff.
do_tcp_sendpages() and tcp_sendmsg() both invoke sk_stream_wait_connect()
if TCP is in a state where data sending is not possible. Inside of
sk_stream_wait_connect() it handles socket errors as first priority,
then if no socket errors are pending it checks if we are trying to
connect currently and if not returns -EPIPE. It is exactly what we
want under these circumstances.
So the bug is purely that autobind is attempted for TCP sockets at
all.
TCP's sendpage handles this correctly already, it calls directly down
into tcp_sendpage(), inet_sendpage() is not used at all.
So the fix is to make tcp_sendmsg() direct as well, that bypasses all
of this autobind madness. The error checking and state verification
in TCP's sendmsg() and sendpage() implementations will do the right
thing.
Comments?
