[PATCH bpf v3 1/4] selftests/bpf: Ensure UDP sockets are bound

Update sockmap_basic tests to bind sockets before they are used. This

[PATCH bpf v3 2/4] bpf, sockmap: Reject unhashed UDP sockets on sockmap update

[Michal Luczaj]

UDP sockets get SOCK_RCU_FREE set when (auto-)bound. This means
sk_is_refcounted(unbound) = true, while sk_is_refcounted(bound) = false.

Because sockmap accepts unbound UDP sockets, a BPF program can increment a
socket's refcount via lookup. If the socket is subsequently bound, the
transition from unbound to bound causes bpf_sk_release() to skip the
decrement of the refcount, causing a memory leak.

Instead of special-casing for refcounted sockets, reject unhashed UDP
sockets during sockmap updates, as there is no benefit to supporting those.
This effectively reverts the commit under Fixes, with two exceptions:

1. sock_map_sk_state_allowed() maintains a fall-through `return true`.
2. In the spirit of commit b8b8315e39ff ("bpf, sockmap: Remove unhash
   handler for BPF sockmap usage"), the proto::unhash BPF handler is not
   reintroduced.

Historical note: this issue is related to commit 67312adc96b5 ("bpf: reject
unhashed sockets in bpf_sk_assign").

Fixes: 0c48eefae712 ("sock_map: Lift socket state restriction for datagram sockets")

[PATCH bpf v3 3/4] selftests/bpf: Adapt sockmap update error handling

[Michal Luczaj]

Update sockmap_listen to accommodate the recent change in sockmap that
rejects unbound UDP sockets.

TCP: Reject unbound and bound (unless established or listening).
UDP: Accept only bound sockets.

While at it, migrate to ASSERT_* and enforce reverse xmas tree.

This isn't a bug, but could the UDP branch just be `else ASSERT_OK(err,
"map_update");` — the `if (err)` guard looks redundant since ASSERT_OK is
a no-op on success?

Ugh, sorry. If there are no other comments for this series, I'd happy to
fix it later in bpf-next.

[PATCH bpf v3 4/4] selftests/bpf: Fail unbound UDP on sockmap update

[Michal Luczaj]

sockmap now rejects unbound UDP sockets. Adjust test_maps. While at it,
check socket()'s return value.

This effectively reverts commit c39aa2159974 ("bpf, selftests: Fix
test_maps now that sockmap supports UDP").
