Subject: [PATCH net v2] tcp: reject devmem tx with fastopen and repair
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:45:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019174522.55644-1-kaifengw@google.com> (raw)

tcp_sendmsg_locked() enforces that devmem TX can only proceed if the
zero-copy path is active and a valid dmabuf binding exists. However,
subsequent branches in tcp_sendmsg_locked() can still intercept the
message before it reaches the devmem zero-copy loop:

1. TCP Fast Open (MSG_FASTOPEN or DEFER_CONNECT):
   If TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT is set, the socket may have a valid dst with
   NETIF_F_SG (so zc == MSG_ZEROCOPY and binding is present), but
   tcp_sendmsg_fastopen() -> tcp_send_syn_data() will use
   copy_page_from_iter() to byte-copy from the iterator. Since iov_base
   represents dma-buf offsets rather than user virtual addresses, this
   misinterprets offsets as user pointers and copies the caller's memory
   at those addresses into the SYN packet.

2. TCP repair mode:
   If tp->repair is enabled with TCP_RECV_QUEUE, tcp_send_rcvq() similarly
   calls skb_copy_datagram_from_iter(), byte-copying from the iterator.

Neither path supports or makes sense for devmem transmission. Reject
devmem sends inside the Fast Open and TCP repair branches when a devmem
binding is present. Checking inside the tp->repair branch also covers
the case where repair mode is enabled while sk_stream_wait_connect()
drops the socket lock.

Additionally, drop the !sockc_err gate from the devmem validation check
and return sockc_err if set. Otherwise, if a valid SCM_DEVMEM_DMABUF is
followed by a failing cmsg, sockc.dmabuf_id remains set while binding is
not acquired, allowing the Fast Open and TCP_RECV_QUEUE repair paths to
proceed and return before sockc_err is checked.

This pre-existing issue was identified by Sashiko AI review on commit
125755776bc6 ("tcp: reject non zerocopy devmem tx") and has not been
hit in production.

v1 -> v2:
- Move the devmem rejection checks into the Fast Open and TCP repair
  branches directly, also covering the case where tp->repair is enabled
  while sk_stream_wait_connect() drops the socket lock.
- Drop the !sockc_err gate from the devmem validation check and return
  sockc_err if set, preventing a valid SCM_DEVMEM_DMABUF followed by a
  failing cmsg from bypassing the check.
