Subject: [PATCH net v2] net/rds: include the scope id in the sendmsg connection cache check
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 23:23:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927062312.169097-1-achender@kernel.org> (raw)
rds_sendmsg() reuses the connection cached in rs->rs_conn when its
peer address and ToS match the request. The interface index is part
of a connection's identity as well: rds_conn_create_outgoing() passes
the request's scope_id down as dev_if, and rds_conn_lookup() compares
c_dev_if, so sends to the same link-local address through two
interfaces are two different connections. The cache-hit test never
looked at it.
A socket bound to a non-link-local address has rs_bound_scope_id 0,
and the scope check at the top of rds_sendmsg() accepts any non-zero
destination scope for such a socket. So after a send to fe80::x%ifA,
a send to fe80::x%ifB hits the cached ifA connection and the datagram
leaves through ifA, to whichever peer answers to that address there.
Compare c_dev_if with the request's scope_id in the cache test, so
that such a send takes the lookup path and finds, or creates, the ifB
connection.
A request without a scope keeps matching the cached connection. A
send with a destination always carries one for a link-local peer, but
a send without a destination takes rs_bound_scope_id, and a bind() to
a non-link-local address after connect() to a link-local peer resets
that to 0. Such a send never named an interface, so the connection
the socket last used is the one it means; making it miss the cache
would send it to look up a connection with no interface, which cannot
be established.
