Hello,
this patchset fixes skbuff merging during rx path. Problem fires when
we are trying to append data to skbuff which is processed in dequeue
callback at the same time. Dequeue callback calls 'skb_pull()' which
changes 'skb->len'. While appending data, this dynamic 'skb->len' will
be used to update length in header of last skbuff. This is wrong, because
length in header is used to update credit parameters ('rx_bytes' and
'fwd_cnt') and must be constant. To set valid length in header of last
skbuff after appending new data to it, we need to sum header values from
both last and new skbuff.
This bug was introduced by:
Fixes: 077706165717 ("virtio/vsock: don't use skbuff state to account credit")
I really forgot about this branch in rx path when implemented patch
above.
This patchset contains 3 patches:
1) Fix itself.
2) Patch with WARN() as kernel part of reproducer. I've added error
return from dequeue callback if this bug fires, otherwise you'll
get busyloop in kernel: callback always returns 0, but rx loop in
af_vsock.c sees that rx_bytes is non-zero thus trying to call
dequeue callback again and again.
3) Patch with reproducer in vsock_test.c. It looks like new test, but
i'm not sure how to test this branch (appending data to last skbuff)
of virtio transport. So only way to detect problem is WARN() in 2).
May be, it will be good practice to add some WARN() checks like in 2)
to different parts of virtio/vsock, because such bugs are difficult to
detect.

2.25.1
This fixes header length calculation of skbuff during data appending to
it. When such skbuff is processed in dequeue callbacks, e.g. 'skb_pull()'
is called on it, 'skb->len' is dynamic value, so it is impossible to use
it in header, because value from header must be permanent for valid
credit calculation ('rx_bytes'/'fwd_cnt').

This adds test which checks case when data of newly received skbuff is
appended to the last skbuff in the socket's queue.
This test is actual only for virtio transport.

I don't understand how this commit introduced this problem, can you
explain it better?
Is it related more to the credit than to the size in the header itself?
Anyway, the patch LGTM, but we should explain better the issue.
Thanks,
Stefano

I would use WARN_ONCE, since we can't recover so we will flood the log.
And you can put the condition in the first argument, I mean something
like this:
if (WARN_ONCE(skb_queue_empty(&vvs->rx_queue) && vvs->rx_bytes,
"rx_queue is empty, but rx_bytes is non-zero\n")) {

Please use a macro for "HELLO" or a variabile, e.g.

We don't expect a failure, so please update the error message and make
it easy to figure out which recv() is failing. For example by saying
how many bytes you expected and how many you received.

Perhaps a comment here to explain why we expect only 8 bytes.

It's the other way around, isn't it?
Here you expect it to fail instead it is not failing.

Moving the pointer correctly, I would also check that there is
HELLOWORLD in the buffer.

Thanks for review, i didn't pay any attention on this test, because it is
just bug reproducer. But if we are going to add it, of course i'll clean
it's code.

Sorry, seems i said it wrong a little bit. Before 0777, implementation was buggy, but
exactly this problem was not actual - it didn't triggered somehow. I checked it with
reproducer from this patch. But in 0777 as value from header was used to 'rx_bytes'
calculation, bug become actual. Yes, may be it is not "Fixes:" for 0777, but critical
addition. I'm not sure.
