af_unix: fix garbage collect vs MSG_PEEK
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit cbcf011 upstream.

unix_gc() assumes that candidate sockets can never gain an external
reference (i.e.  be installed into an fd) while the unix_gc_lock is
held.  Except for MSG_PEEK this is guaranteed by modifying inflight
count under the unix_gc_lock.

MSG_PEEK does not touch any variable protected by unix_gc_lock (file
count is not), yet it needs to be serialized with garbage collection.
Do this by locking/unlocking unix_gc_lock:

 1) increment file count

 2) lock/unlock barrier to make sure incremented file count is visible
    to garbage collection

 3) install file into fd

This is a lock barrier (unlike smp_mb()) that ensures that garbage
collection is run completely before or completely after the barrier.

/*
* Garbage collection of unix sockets starts by selecting a set of
* candidate sockets which have reference only from being in flight
* (total_refs == inflight_refs). This condition is checked once during
* the candidate collection phase, and candidates are marked as such, so
* that non-candidates can later be ignored. While inflight_refs is
* protected by unix_gc_lock, total_refs (file count) is not, hence this
* is an instantaneous decision.
*
* Once a candidate, however, the socket must not be reinstalled into a
* file descriptor while the garbage collection is in progress.
*
* If the above conditions are met, then the directed graph of
* candidates (*) does not change while unix_gc_lock is held.
*
* Any operations that changes the file count through file descriptors
* (dup, close, sendmsg) does not change the graph since candidates are
* not installed in fds.
*
* Dequeing a candidate via recvmsg would install it into an fd, but
* that takes unix_gc_lock to decrement the inflight count, so it's
* serialized with garbage collection.
*
* MSG_PEEK is special in that it does not change the inflight count,
* yet does install the socket into an fd. The following lock/unlock
* pair is to ensure serialization with garbage collection. It must be
* done between incrementing the file count and installing the file into
* an fd.
*
* If garbage collection starts after the barrier provided by the
* lock/unlock, then it will see the elevated refcount and not mark this
* as a candidate. If a garbage collection is already in progress
* before the file count was incremented, then the lock/unlock pair will
* ensure that garbage collection is finished before progressing to
* installing the fd.
*
* (*) A -> B where B is on the queue of A or B is on the queue of C
* which is on the queue of listening socket A.
