Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: skmsg: preserve sg.copy across SG transforms
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 06:21:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610062137.49075-1-yimingqian591@gmail.com> (raw)
The sk_msg sg.copy bitmap is part of the scatterlist entry ownership
state. A set bit tells sk_msg_compute_data_pointers() not to expose the
entry through writable BPF ctx->data. This protects entries backed by
pages that are not private to the sk_msg, such as splice-backed file
page-cache pages.
Several sk_msg transform paths move, copy, split, or compact
msg->sg.data[] entries without moving the matching sg.copy bit. This can
make an externally backed entry arrive at a new slot with a clear copy
bit. A later SK_MSG verdict can then expose sg_virt(sge) as writable
ctx->data and BPF stores can modify the original page cache.
Keep sg.copy synchronized with sg.data[] whenever entries are
transferred, shifted, split, or copied into a new sk_msg. Clear the bit
when an entry is replaced by a newly allocated private page or freed.
This covers the BPF pull/push/pop helpers, sk_msg_shift_left/right(),
sk_msg_xfer(), and tls_split_open_record(), including the partial tail
entry created during TLS open-record splitting.
Fixes: d3b18ad31f93 ("tls: add bpf support to sk_msg handling")

v2:
- Use __assign_bit() and the _assign helper suffix suggested in review.
- Broaden the fix beyond tls_split_open_record() to the sk_msg entry
transform paths in BPF pull/push/pop helpers, sk_msg shift helpers,
sk_msg_xfer(), and entry allocation/free cleanup.
- Expand the commit message to explain why sg.copy must move with the
scatterlist entry.
