Hi,

This survives basic testing here, but I don't know what that counts for
when I couldn't reproduce the lockdep report in the first place. Please
review.

It turns out that sock_setsockopt() is calling copy_from_user() while
holding the lock on the socket. We fix it by splitting the ioctl code
so that one switch handles the ioctls that have their own code for
reading from userspace, and one switch handles the cases that require
no additional reading.

I guess it has been like this for some time, so it would be nice to
mention what scenario happens here, or IOW what exactly needs to get
these locks in reverse order.

A check for error is needed here and below.

Right, you cannot continue and update the socket state if this
sock_set_timeout() call returns an error.

Actually, there is a little change: the warning triggerd in another
place (sock_setsockopt() -> sk_attach_filter()). So we could go deeper
with these changes, but I'm not sure this is the right way to fix.

It looks like the scenario is very old, but probably wasn't reported
(maybe there is some lockdep improvement):

A) sys_mmap2() -> mm->mmap_sem -> packet_mmap() -> sk_lock
B) sock_setsockopt() -> sk_lock -> copy_from_user() -> mm->mmap_sem

packet_mmap() (net/packet/af_packet.c) seems to be the only place in
net to implement mmap method, and using this lock order btw. On the
other hand copy_from_user() could be more popular under sk_lock, and
I'm not sure these changes are necessary.

Since I don't know enough neither sock/packet nor sys_mmap, I guess
some advice would be precious. It looks like Peter Zijlstra solved
similar problems in nfs, so I CC him.

Thanks,
Jarek P.

Yes, they likely are very old, and yes we added a lockdep annotation to
copy_to/from_user() to catch these.

The NFS/sunrpc case was special in that it did copy_to/from_kernel, that
is, it never actually touched user memory -- we taught the might_fault()
annotation about that.

Can't you simply do the copy_from_user() before you take the sk_lock?

Since it's really needed, and Vegard started doing it like this, I
guess he will try to add the missing pieces.

Argh, thanks both. What a stupid mistake. What is the point in fixing
something if the fix introduces a different kind of error? :-(

I will fix the patch and also check for other places (like that
attach_filter) that need to be fixed.
