rds: tcp: Sequence teardown of listen and acceptor sockets to avoid races
[ 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) Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
