GC thinks sk-A is dead because the file refcount is the\nsame as the number of its inflight fds.\n\nHowever, sk-A's file refcount is bumped silently by MSG_PEEK,\nwhich invalidates the previous evaluation.\n\nAt this moment, sk-B's file refcount is 2; one by the open fd,\nand one by the inflight fd in sk-A. The subsequent close()\nreleases one refcount by the former.\n\nFinally, GC incorrectly concludes that both sk-A and sk-B are dead.\n\nOne option is to restore the locking dance in unix_peek_fds(),\nbut we can resolve this more elegantly thanks to the new algorithm.\n\nThe point is that the issue does not occur without the subsequent\nclose() and we actually do not need to synchronise MSG_PEEK with\nthe dead SCC detection.\n\nWhen the issue occurs, close() and GC touch the same file refcount.\nIf GC sees the refcount being decremented by close(), it can just\ngive up garbage-collecting the SCC.\n\nTherefore, we only need to signal the race during MSG_PEEK with\na proper memory barrier to make it visible to the GC.\n\nLet's use seqcount_t to notify GC when MSG_PEEK occurs and let\nit defer the SCC to the next run.\n\nThis way no locking is needed on the MSG_PEEK side, and we can\navoid imposing a penalty on every MSG_PEEK unnecessarily.\n\nNote that we can retry within unix_scc_dead() if MSG_PEEK is\ndetected, but we do not do so to avoid hung task splat from\nabusive MSG_PEEK calls.\n\n[Fix]\n\nQuesting: backported from upstream\nNoble: backported from upstream\nJammy: not affected\nFocal: not affected\nBionic: not affected\nXenial: not affected\nTrusty: not affected\n\n[Test Plan]\n\nCompile and boot tested.\n\n[Where problems could occur]\n\nThe change affects Unix domain sockets, specifically the garbage\ncollection algorithm, to prevent a race condition that leads to\nearly clearing of a receive queue. Issues would affect Unix\ndomain sockets, particularly when used with MSG_PEEK.\n\nKuniyuki Iwashima (1):\n af_unix: Give up GC if MSG_PEEK intervened.\n\n net/unix/af_unix.c | 2 ++\n net/unix/af_unix.h | 1 +\n net/unix/garbage.c | 79 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------\n 3 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-)"}
