Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf, sockmap: use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for saved_data_ready in the verdict path
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 23:56:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021155629.68813-1-phx0fer@gmail.com> (raw)
sk_psock_start_verdict() and sk_psock_stop_verdict() access
psock->saved_data_ready with plain loads and stores, while the sibling
sk_psock_stop_strp() uses WRITE_ONCE for the same field. sock_map_link()
/ sock_map_unref() touch the same psock from another CPU without the
lock, so KCSAN reports the race:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in sock_map_link / sock_map_unref
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in sk_psock_start_verdict / sock_map_unref
Use READ_ONCE() for the reads and WRITE_ONCE() for the writes, matching
the strp sibling.
Fixes: 2ef2b20cf4e0 ("net: annotate data-races around sk->sk_{data_ready,write_space}")

Tested base
-----------
Detected on Linux 7.3-rc4 (commit 93f51579e7df), arm64 QEMU guest.
Re-checked against mainline f47d223627f8 (v7.3-341): the affected code
is unchanged between the two, so the bug is still present there.
Checked against linux-next next-20261021 (commit 9a482184d910): the
affected code is unchanged there as well, so the bug is still present in
linux-next too.
Reproducer status
-----------------
A reproducer was written and executed on an arm64 QEMU guest (KCSAN); it
reported the race. The reproducer source is not posted here per
Documentation/process/security-bugs.rst; it is available on request.
Triggering conditions
---------------------
CAP_BPF / the ability to update sockmap and attach verdict programs.
Notes
-----
Built and checkpatch-clean: this patch was applied on top of 7.3-rc4
(commit 93f51579e7df) and a full arm64 kernel (defconfig) was built with
it -- no new warnings or errors. scripts/checkpatch.pl reports 0 errors,
0 warnings.
