Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] bpf, sockmap: handle spurious tcp_msg_wait_data() wakeup
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 21:39:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714203927.32289-2-nnamdio@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714203927.32289-1-nnamdio@gmail.com>

recvfrom()/recv() are documented as only returning EAGAIN for blocking sockets
when they have a receive timeout configured.  However, adding a blocking
ipv4 tcp socket without a receive timeout to a sockmap will cause EAGAIN errors
sporadically.  A socket with a receive timeout may return EAGAIN before the
timeout expires.

There are 2 code paths affected by this:

  1. tcp_bpf_recvmsg() - Used when the socket has been added to a sockmap
     that has no verdict program attached.

  2. tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser() - Used when the socket has been added to a
     sockmap that has a verdict program.  To reproduce this issue, it is
     enough for the verdict program to do nothing but return SK_PASS.

In both cases this happens when tcp_msg_wait_data() wakes spuriously
(returning 0).  To fix it, we now loop back to msg_bytes_ready instead
of returning -EAGAIN on spurious wakeup.

To ensure the looping does not cause sockets with a SO_RCVTIMEO set to
wait excessively long, tcp_msg_wait_data() now takes a pointer to timeo,
allowing sk_wait_event() to update it as appropriate.

The logic in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser() that allow it to handle signals,
socket errors and closuers in its loop was also added to tcp_bpf_recvmsg().
