Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] bpf, sockmap: handle spurious tcp_msg_wait_data() wakeup
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:53:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717155348.54975-1-nnamdio@gmail.com> (raw)

Spurious wakeups in tcp_msg_wait_data() isn't being handled by
tcp_bpf_recvmsg() and tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser(), leading to unexpected
EAGAIN errors returned by recvfrom()/recv().  Adding handling for the
wakeup and a selftest.

This issue was first discovered in an application that adds sockets to
a sockmap as a way to view the received data.  No redirects or any
other operations are performed.

Sashiko has noted a few other pre-existing issues in the same area
(https://patch.msgid.link/20260714205118.17DB11F000E9@smtp.kernel.org)
that can lead to EAGAIN in tcp_bpf_recvmsg() and
tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser().  A local run of Sashiko also identified a
potential issue in tcp_bpf_recvmsg() handling zero-data FIN packets when
the MSG_PEEK flag is set.  To prevent this patchset from growing too
large, I intend to submit follow up patches to address these once this
one has been accepted.

Changes in v5:
- Move selftest from net into bpf/prog_tests/sockmap_basic.c
- Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20260715213538.37229-1-nnamdio@gmail.com

Changes in v4:
- Fix potential data loss in tcp_bpf_recvmsg() when a FIN or RST has
  been received.
- Check the return code of pthread_create() in the selftest.
- Fix race caused by using EXPECT macros in a thread in selftest.
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260714203927.32289-1-nnamdio@gmail.com

Changes in v3:
- Added the sockmap_recvfrom selftest.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/alFRK66z45eDNZA7@localhost.localdomain

Changes in v2:
- In tcp_bpf_recvmsg, handle signals and the socket closing in the loop.
- Fix spurious wakeups when SO_RCVTIMEO has been set on the socket.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/ak_rR-Skd8Mvn4mH@localhost.localdomain
