Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 1/2] tcp: Do not allow buggy transitions between ehash and lhash2.
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 03:35:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904033543.2635540-2-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904033543.2635540-1-kuniyu@google.com>

The following state transitions have long been a playground for
syzbot, and recently AI joined in, reporting a lot more bugs.

  * listen() + shutdown() + connect()
  * connect() + connect(AF_UNSPEC) + listen()

All the fix attempts would add more code to the fast path, which
is not worth it.

Instead of playing whack-a-mole with these edge-case bugs,
let's disallow these transitions.

Note that unhashed_state is placed in the 4-byte hole after
icsk_pmtu_cookie.

  $ pahole -C inet_connection_sock vmlinux
  struct inet_connection_sock {
  ...
	__u32                      icsk_pmtu_cookie;     /*  1208     4 */
	unsigned char              unhashed_state;       /*  1212     1 */

	/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
