Subject: [PATCHv4 0/2] net: fix race in the receive/select

This patchset fixies the race within the poll_wait call and the receive callbacks,
by adding memory barrier.

- 1/2 includes the actual fix
- 2/2 includes optimization for the x86 arch

It is discussed and described in the following discussions:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/18/124
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/25/188
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/29/216

Patchset is made on top of Linus'es tree d960eea974f5e500c0dcb95a934239cc1f481cfd .

Booted on x86_64.

wbr,
jirka

Subject: [PATCHv4 1/2] net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sock_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.

Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.


CPU1 CPU2

sys_select receive packet
... ...
__add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt
... ...
tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable
... {
schedule ...
if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
...
}

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.


Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:
net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c
net/irda/af_irda.c
net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c
net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c
net/phonet/socket.c
net/rds/af_rds.c
net/rfkill/core.c
net/sunrpc/cache.c
net/sunrpc/rpc_pipe.c
net/tipc/socket.c

wbr,
jirka

Subject: [PATCHv4 2/2] memory barrier: adding smp_mb__after_lock

Adding smp_mb__after_lock define to be used as a smp_mb call after
a lock.

Making it nop for x86, since {read|write|spin}_lock() on x86 are
full memory barriers.

Maybe we should remind that sk_has_helper() is always called
right after a call to read_lock() as in :

read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock);
if (sk_has_sleeper(sk))
wake_up_interruptible_all(sk->sk_sleep);

Agreed, that'd be to have it in the source code comment.
