Subject: [PATCH] net: sock_copy() fixes
David, I believe following patch could be 2.6.31 candidate
(and stable (2.6.29/2.6.30) as well)
Note : Because we clear all sock fields in sk_prot_alloc(),
setting sk_refcnt to 1 in sock_init_data() is safe, even if
sock not yet added to hash table (with correct keys).
Lockless readers have to re-check their key after getting a
reference on the found object anyway, their re-check
should not catch old key values.
Next problem to fix (but it can wait 2.6.32 I believe) is
to delay sk_refcnt initialization *after* sock lookup keys
are setup for new socket, not after being set to 0.
A lockless reader could :
- find an old sock, with old keys
(at this point, another cpu re-allocate this sock, clear fields,
and sets sk_refcnt to 1)
- succeed to increment sk_refcnt
(at this point, other cpu is filling lookup fields (remote address/port, local address...)
- re-check keys and find a match, while socket still being initialized by other cpu.
Only way to fix this is to set sk_refcnt to a non null value only at the
point it is safe for a reader to find the socket and use it.
Thanks
[PATCH] net: sock_copy() fixes
Commit e912b1142be8f1e2c71c71001dc992c6e5eb2ec1
(net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory)
took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time.
sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful.
We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until
we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or
a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake,
while not fully (re)initialized.
This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning
of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job.
We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations
to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should
be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting)
