Subject: [PATCH] net: Do not break out of sk_stream_wait_memory() with TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL

It can happen that a socket sends the remaining data at close() time.
With io_uring and KTLS it can happen that sk_stream_wait_memory() bails
out with -512 (-ERESTARTSYS) because TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set for the
current task. This flag has been set in io_req_normal_work_add() by
calling task_work_add().

It seems signal_pending() is too broad, so this patch replaces it with
task_sigpending(), thus ignoring the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL flag.

This looks dangerous, at best. Other possible legit users setting
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL will be broken.

Can't you instead clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL in io_run_task_work() ?


Thanks!

I don't have an idea how io_run_task_work() comes into play here, but it
seems it already clears TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL:

static inline int io_run_task_work(void)
{
/*
* Always check-and-clear the task_work notification signal. With how
* signaling works for task_work, we can find it set with nothing to
* run. We need to clear it for that case, like get_signal() does.
*/
if (test_thread_flag(TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL))
clear_notify_signal();
...
}

I see, io_run_task_work() is too late, sk_stream_wait_memory() is
already woken up.

I still think this patch is unsafe. What about explicitly handling the
restart in tls_sw_release_resources_tx() ? The main point is that such
function is called by inet_release() and the latter can't be re-
started.

I don't think there's anything I can do in tls_sw_release_resources_tx().
When entering this function TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is not (yet) set. It gets
set at some point while tls_sw_release_resources_tx() is running. I find
it set when tls_tx_records() returns with -ERESTARTSYS. I tried clearing
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL then and called tls_tx_records() again, but that doesn't
work.

Seems the discussion got stuck, what are the blocking points?

I raised the point if this patch could be dangerous outside of the
specific scenario and I did not get any reply to that.

To be more explicit: why this will not cause user-space driven
connect() from missing relevant events? Why this is needed only here
and not in all the many others event loops waiting for signals? Why
can't the issue be addressed in any place more closely tied to the
scenario, e.g. io_uring or ktls?

Thanks

Paolo
