Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 5/5] tls: Flush backlog before waiting for a new record
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 17:48:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429-tls-read-sock-v9-5-39e71aa7810f@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429-tls-read-sock-v9-0-39e71aa7810f@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.
Backlog processing can run tcp_reset(), which sets both
sk->sk_err = ECONNRESET and (via tcp_done()) sk->sk_shutdown
= SHUTDOWN_MASK. The pre-existing top-of-loop sk_err check
already ran before the flush, so without further care the
freshly-set error would be masked by the next-line
sk_shutdown test returning 0 (EOF). Re-check sk_err
immediately before the sk_shutdown test so a connection
abort surfaces as -ECONNRESET rather than a clean EOF.
