Subject: [PATCH] vsock/hv_sock: reject incoming connections when the listener is being released
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:01:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917220156.56015-1-bartlomiej.dmitruk@isec.pl> (raw)
hvs_open_connection() only checks sk_state == TCP_LISTEN and
sk_acceptq_is_full() before creating a child and calling
vsock_enqueue_accept(). __vsock_release() sets sk->sk_shutdown =
SHUTDOWN_MASK and flushes the accept queue while leaving sk_state ==
TCP_LISTEN, so a host channel offer that races close() of the listener
passes both checks and enqueues a child onto the already-flushed queue.
That child socket (and the VMBUS channel opened for it) is never accepted
or cleaned up and leaks.
The virtio transport guards exactly this case in
virtio_transport_recv_listen(); hv_sock lacks the equivalent guard.
hv_sock holds lock_sock(sk) across hvs_open_connection(), so the check is
race-free.
