Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/8] tls: bound consecutive no-data records in tls_sw_read_sock()
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 18:41:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001-tls-follow-on-v2-1-2dd1947bb642@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001-tls-follow-on-v2-0-2dd1947bb642@kernel.org>

A zero-length application_data record delivers no payload, so
tls_sw_read_sock() never runs the read_actor for one and nothing
decrements desc->count. A peer that streams such records keeps the
loop running, with the socket lock held, for as long as they arrive.
The caller cannot bound the run because read_sock() has not
returned.

Stop after TLS_RX_NODATA_LIMIT consecutive records that deliver no
bytes. Any record that delivers bytes resets the count. Stopping
with nothing copied returns zero, which a read_sock consumer takes
as no progress rather than EOF. Records left queued raise no
further sk_data_ready(), so call the socket's callback before
returning.

Fixes: 3be28e2c9cd0 ("net/tls: Consume empty data records in tls_sw_read_sock()")
