bpf, sockmap: Don't let an SK_PASS verdict cover the next message
This commit resets psock->eval before calling tcp_bpf_push() when
psock->apply_bytes is 0, and subtracts any sent bytes from
psock->apply_bytes if tcp_bpf_push() fails.

[Severity: High]
Can this corrupt a concurrent sender's verdict state or leave psock->eval
set when psock->apply_bytes reaches 0?
In tcp_bpf_send_verdict() under case __SK_PASS, if Thread A enters with
psock->apply_bytes == 0, it resets psock->eval = __SK_NONE before calling
tcp_bpf_push(). If tcp_bpf_push() -> tcp_sendmsg_locked() releases the
socket lock in sk_stream_wait_memory(), a concurrent Thread B in
tcp_bpf_sendmsg() -> tcp_bpf_send_verdict() can see psock->eval == __SK_NONE,
run sk_psock_msg_verdict(), and install a new psock->eval (including
__SK_REDIRECT with psock->sk_redir) and psock->apply_bytes.
When Thread A returns from tcp_bpf_push(), it still calls
sk_msg_apply_bytes() on both the error and success paths, and on success runs
the post-switch cleanup:
net/ipv4/tcp_bpf.c:tcp_bpf_send_verdict() {
...
case __SK_PASS:
/* The push may sleep without the socket lock, and it may fail */
if (!psock->apply_bytes)
psock->eval = __SK_NONE;
origsize = msg->sg.size;
ret = tcp_bpf_push(sk, msg, tosend, flags, true);
if (unlikely(ret)) {
/* A part of it may have gone out */
sk_msg_apply_bytes(psock, origsize - msg->sg.size);
*copied -= sk_msg_free(sk, msg);
break;
}
sk_msg_apply_bytes(psock, tosend);
break;
...
if (likely(!ret)) {
if (!psock->apply_bytes) {
psock->eval = __SK_NONE;
if (psock->sk_redir) {
sock_put(psock->sk_redir);
psock->sk_redir = NULL;
}
}
}
Wouldn't Thread A subtract its own sent bytes from Thread B's
psock->apply_bytes, and if psock->apply_bytes is 0 when ret == 0, reset
Thread B's psock->eval to __SK_NONE and drop Thread B's psock->sk_redir?
Also, on the error path (unlikely(ret)), if sk_msg_apply_bytes(psock,
origsize - msg->sg.size) reduces a non-zero psock->apply_bytes to 0 (for
instance if another sender consumed part of psock->apply_bytes while
tcp_bpf_push() slept), the post-switch block is skipped because ret != 0.
Wouldn't that leave psock->eval as __SK_PASS with psock->apply_bytes == 0,
causing the next message to bypass the sk_msg program?
