- [Medium] net/iucv: missed shutdown wakeup in iucv_sock_sendmsg()

net/iucv: run recvmsg() under the socket lock

This commit acquires the socket lock in iucv_sock_recvmsg() while dropping it
in sk_wait_event() when waiting for data, and drops the socket lock in
iucv_sock_sendmsg() while waiting for send buffer memory.

[Severity: Medium]
Can a writer waiting in sock_alloc_send_pskb() without lock_sock(sk) miss a
concurrent shutdown(SHUT_WR) wakeup when iucv_send_ctrl() temporarily clears
SEND_SHUTDOWN?

net/iucv/af_iucv.c:iucv_send_ctrl() {
    ...
	if (sk->sk_shutdown & SEND_SHUTDOWN) {
		/* controlling flags should be sent anyway */
		shutdown = sk->sk_shutdown;
		sk->sk_shutdown &= RCV_SHUTDOWN;
	}
	skb = sock_alloc_send_skb(sk, blen, 1, &err);
	if (skb) {
		skb_reserve(skb, blen);
		err = afiucv_hs_send(NULL, sk, skb, flags);
	}
	if (shutdown)
		sk->sk_shutdown = shutdown;
    ...
}

Because sock_wait_for_wmem() now runs unlocked, it can race with
iucv_send_ctrl() (called under lock_sock(sk) by iucv_sock_recvmsg() for a
window update):

CPU0                              CPU1
iucv_sock_sendmsg()
  release_sock(sk)
  sock_alloc_send_pskb()
    sock_wait_for_wmem()
      prepare_to_wait(...)
                                  iucv_sock_shutdown(SHUT_WR)
                                    sk->sk_shutdown |= SEND_SHUTDOWN
                                    sk->sk_state_change(sk)
                                  iucv_sock_recvmsg()
                                    iucv_send_ctrl()
                                      sk->sk_shutdown &= RCV_SHUTDOWN
      if (sk->sk_shutdown & SEND_SHUTDOWN)
        /* false */
                                      sk->sk_shutdown = shutdown
      schedule_timeout(timeo)  <-- sleeps despite SHUT_WR

Since iucv_send_ctrl() restores SEND_SHUTDOWN without waking sk_sleep(sk),
iucv_sock_sendmsg() stays blocked in schedule_timeout() until send memory is
freed or SO_SNDTIMEO expires instead of returning -EPIPE immediately.
