A zero-length application_data record does not deliver a 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.
An LLM audit of the TLS read paths found this defect. The defect has
not been reproduced.
Stop after TLS_RX_NODATA_LIMIT consecutive empty data records. 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 do not raise another
sk_data_ready(), so the consumer needs one. The consumer's callback
can call tls_sw_read_sock() itself, as strp_data_ready() does when
the socket is not owned by user. Run the callback from a work item,
after the reader has returned.

tls_rx_rec_wait() tests signal_pending() only after it sleeps, and
it skips the wait loop when a record is already parsed.
tls_sw_recvmsg() calls tls_rx_rec_wait() once per record, and a
zero-length application_data record does not advance either bound
of the receive loop. A peer that streams such records holds the
caller in recvmsg(), unresponsive to SIGKILL, for as long as they
arrive. The hang has not been reproduced.
Test for a pending signal in tls_sw_recvmsg() before it fetches the
record after an empty one. A reader that has copied data gets the
data, and a nonblocking reader gets -EINTR. The test stays out of
tls_rx_rec_wait() because tls_sw_read_sock() also calls
tls_rx_rec_wait(), from callers that cannot act on a signal.
Decrypt an empty record synchronously. The code at recv_end
overwrites err once any record has been decrypted asynchronously.
With only empty records queued, the reader then gets zero, not the
errno.

tls_sw_splice_read() takes its blocking behavior from
SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK alone. When splicing from a socket to a pipe,
do_splice() sets that flag from the pipe's O_NONBLOCK, not the
socket's. On a nonblocking socket, a splice(2) call without
SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK therefore sleeps in tls_rx_rec_wait() until a
record arrives. tcp_splice_read() instead reads sock->file->f_flags
and returns -EAGAIN.
Polling first does not avoid the sleep once tls_sw_splice_read()
consumes zero-length records. tls_sw_sock_is_readable() reports
the socket readable while any record sits on rx_list, including a
zero-length record that delivers no bytes to the pipe. The
strparser announces a record before decryption, when the record's
plaintext length is unknown, so the readiness test cannot screen
such a record out. A splice that consumes the record and waits for
the next stalls every connection an event loop multiplexes.
An LLM audit of the TLS read paths found this defect. With empty
records consumed, the zero_len_splice selftest, run on a
nonblocking socket, reproduces the sleep.
Treat the socket's O_NONBLOCK as nonblocking too. A caller that
sets O_NONBLOCK on the socket and splices without SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK
now gets -EAGAIN where the splice blocked before. sendfile(2) from
a TLS socket changes the same way, because do_sendfile() leaves the
input file's O_NONBLOCK out of the splice flags. Both now behave as
they do on a plain TCP socket.

A zero-length application_data record decrypts to full_len == 0,
so tls_sw_splice_read() splices zero bytes and returns zero. A zero
return from a splice read means EOF, and the caller tears down a
connection that is still live. The zero_len_splice selftest
reproduces the zero return.
Consume the record and fetch the next one, as tls_sw_recvmsg()
does. Test for a pending signal before each retry, so a peer that
streams empty records cannot make the splicing task unkillable.
When an empty record precedes a close_notify, splice(2) now returns
-EINVAL from the control-record test instead of a false EOF. A
splice that reaches an alert record already reports -EINVAL.

TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 both permit zero-length application_data
records as a traffic-analysis countermeasure (RFC 5246 Section
6.2.1 and RFC 8446 Section 5.1). A record that decrypts to
full_len == 0 advances neither len nor decrypted, so
tls_sw_recvmsg() keeps reading empty records for as long as they
arrive. The peek arm and the async arm queue each empty record on
rx_list, and a peer that streams empty records grows rx_list
without bound. The growth has not been reproduced.
Consume an empty data record as soon as the receive loop has it,
before the paths diverge on darg.zc. Freeing the skb requires its
decryption to have completed, and an empty record is already
decrypted synchronously. The new branch sets MSG_EOR itself,
because the record no longer reaches the assignment at the bottom
of the loop.
After this change, tls_sw_recvmsg() still reads empty records for
as long as they arrive, until a signal is pending.

Once tls_sw_recvmsg() has copied enough data to meet the receive
low-water mark, the receive loop continues only while another
record is ready. A zero-length application_data record is consumed
without advancing len, so a peer that follows data with a stream of
empty records keeps the reader in the loop. The reader does not get
the data already copied until the stream stops or a signal is
pending. The delay has not been reproduced.
Leave the receive loop at an empty record once the low-water mark
is met. A reader that has copied nothing still reads empty records
for as long as they arrive.

FIXTURE_SETUP(zero_len) returns early when ulp_sock_pair() reports
that the TCP_ULP setsockopt failed, so on a kernel built without
CONFIG_TLS the TLS_RX setsockopt never runs. TEST_F(zero_len, test)
then sends its raw records over a plain TCP socket, which returns
the ciphertext verbatim. All eight variants FAIL on a machine that
lacks TLS, and those failures mask any real regression in the same
run.
Skip the test when the fixture recorded notls, as the other
fixtures in this file do.

The zero_len fixture injects raw pre-encrypted records over a
socket carrying a TLS_RX key only, and some of those records are
zero-length application_data records. Every variant reads the
records back with a plain recv(), so neither splice nor MSG_PEEK is
tested against an empty record.
Add zero_len_splice and zero_len_peek. A zero return from splice()
means EOF, so zero_len_splice checks that a run of empty data
records does not end a live connection. zero_len_peek checks that a
peek reaches the payload behind a run of empty records and leaves
the payload in place for the read that follows. When a payload does
not follow the run, the peek must leave the socket unreadable. An
unfixed kernel returns 0 from splice(), and after the peek poll()
reports the socket readable.

Every existing splice call in this file either passes
SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK or runs on a blocking socket, so nothing
exercises the socket's own O_NONBLOCK on the splice path. A change
that stops consulting sock->file->f_flags puts splice(2) and
sendfile(2) back to sleeping in tls_rx_rec_wait() while a peer
streams empty records, and the suite still reports pass.
Run the zero-length record variants a second time with O_NONBLOCK
set on the socket and SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK left out of the splice
flags. Each variant expects the same result with either flag. A
kernel that ignores the socket flag sleeps in the EAGAIN variant
until the harness timeout rather than returning.
