Subject: [PATCH net-next v8 5/5] tls: Flush backlog before waiting for a new record
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:30:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428-tls-read-sock-v8-5-85f96c7df24c@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428-tls-read-sock-v8-0-85f96c7df24c@oracle.com>

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

While lock_sock is held, incoming TCP segments land on
sk->sk_backlog rather than sk->sk_receive_queue.
tls_rx_rec_wait() inspects only sk_receive_queue, so
backlog data remains invisible. For non-blocking callers
(read_sock, and recvmsg or splice_read with MSG_DONTWAIT)
this causes a spurious -EAGAIN. For blocking callers it
forces an unnecessary sleep/wakeup cycle.

Flush the backlog inside tls_rx_rec_wait() before checking
sk_receive_queue so the strparser can parse newly-arrived
segments immediately. On the next loop iteration
tls_read_flush_backlog() may redundantly flush, but this
path is cold and the cost is negligible.
