Subject: [PATCH v3] bpf, sockmap: Fix cork ownership in tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:26:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723162602.3275661-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260719161630.2901208-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com>

tcp_bpf_sendmsg() keeps msg_tx across sk_stream_wait_memory(), which drops
and reacquires the socket lock.  Its error path used the current value of
psock->cork to decide whether msg_tx named the stack-local temporary
message.

Two senders can therefore interleave as follows:

  Thread A                         Thread B
  msg_tx = psock->cork
  sk_msg_alloc() fails
  sk_stream_wait_memory()
    releases the socket lock      acquires the socket lock
                                  completes the cork
                                  psock->cork = NULL
                                  frees the cork
    reacquires the socket lock
  msg_tx != psock->cork
  sk_msg_free(msg_tx)

The stale cork is mistaken for the local temporary message and freed again.
KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sk_msg_free+0x49/0x50

   kfree+0x131/0x3c0

Make temporary ownership explicit by freeing only the stack-local message
at the common exit.  When a verdict moves that message into the persistent
cork, use sk_msg_xfer_full() to clear the source and record the persistent
cork as the current owner.

The related failure paths must also distinguish bytes in the current
message from bytes sent by earlier loop iterations.  Track the former in
msg_copied.  If cork allocation or redirect fails, subtract only the
unsent bytes belonging to that message, preserving the syscall-wide count
for data already sent.  Also reset cork_bytes after allocation failure,
skip a self-transfer of an existing cork, and propagate iterator errors.

Changes in v3:
- Transfer the temporary message into the persistent cork with
  sk_msg_xfer_full(), leaving the source empty at the common exit.
- Track the current message contribution separately so cork failures retain
  the count of bytes sent by earlier iterations.
- Address the two ownership and return-value issues reported by Sashiko.

Changes in v2:
- Address Sashiko review findings for stale cork state, iterator-error
  propagation, cork self-copy, and masked redirect failures.
- Keep the original stale-cork use-after-free fix.
