Subject: [PATCH v2] ipx: fix locking regression in ipx_sendmsg and ipx_recvmsg
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 23:24:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141118222458.GA14454@midget.suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141118221057.GA13473@midget.suse.cz>

This fixes an old regression introduced by commit
b0d0d915 (ipx: remove the BKL).

When a recvmsg syscall blocks waiting for new data, no data can be sent on the
same socket with sendmsg because ipx_recvmsg() sleeps with the socket locked.

This breaks mars-nwe (NetWare emulator):
- the ncpserv process reads the request using recvmsg
- ncpserv forks and spawns nwconn
- ncpserv calls a (blocking) recvmsg and waits for new requests
- nwconn deadlocks in sendmsg on the same socket 

Commit b0d0d915 has simply replaced BKL locking with
lock_sock/release_sock. Unlike now, BKL got unlocked while
sleeping, so a blocking recvmsg did not block a concurrent
sendmsg.

Only keep the socket locked while actually working with the socket data and
release it prior to calling skb_recv_datagram().
