Subject: [PATCH v4] tcp: fix race condition when creating child sockets from
 syncookies
Message-ID: <20201113190935.GA106934@rdias-suse-pc.lan>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Precedence: bulk

When the TCP stack is in SYN flood mode, the server child socket is
created from the SYN cookie received in a TCP packet with the ACK flag
set.

The child socket is created when the server receives the first TCP
packet with a valid SYN cookie from the client. Usually, this packet
corresponds to the final step of the TCP 3-way handshake, the ACK
packet. But is also possible to receive a valid SYN cookie from the
first TCP data packet sent by the client, and thus create a child socket
from that SYN cookie.

Since a client socket is ready to send data as soon as it receives the
SYN+ACK packet from the server, the client can send the ACK packet (sent
by the TCP stack code), and the first data packet (sent by the userspace
program) almost at the same time, and thus the server will equally
receive the two TCP packets with valid SYN cookies almost at the same
instant.

When such event happens, the TCP stack code has a race condition that
occurs between the momement a lookup is done to the established
connections hashtable to check for the existence of a connection for the
same client, and the moment that the child socket is added to the
established connections hashtable. As a consequence, this race condition
can lead to a situation where we add two child sockets to the
established connections hashtable and deliver two sockets to the
userspace program to the same client.

This patch fixes the race condition by checking if an existing child
socket exists for the same client when we are adding the second child
socket to the established connections socket. If an existing child
socket exists, we return that socket and use it to process the TCP
packet received, and discard the second child socket to the same client.

---
v4 (2020-11-12):
  * Added `struct sock **esk) parameter to `inet_ehash_insert`.
  * Fixed ref count increment in `inet_ehash_insert`.
  * Fixed callers of inet_ehash_nolisten.

v3 (2020-11-11):
  * Fixed IPv6 handling in inet_ehash_insert
  * Removed unecessary comparison while traversing the ehash bucket
    list.
 
v2 (2020-11-09):
  * Changed the author's email domain.
  * Removed the helper function inet_ehash_insert_chk_dup and moved the
    logic to the existing inet_ehash_insert.
  * Updated the callers of iner_ehash_nolisten to deal with the new
    logic.
