Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] af_unix: skip consumed OOB skb and pull consumed bytes in unix_stream_read_skb()
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 05:48:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921054823.1822122-2-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921054823.1822122-1-benquike@gmail.com>
When an OOB byte is consumed via recv(MSG_OOB) in unix_stream_recv_urg(),
u->oob_skb is cleared to NULL and UNIXCB(oob_skb).consumed is incremented
to 1, but oob_skb remains on sk->sk_receive_queue (with unix_skb_len(skb)
== 0) to preserve the OOB mark until normal reads advance past it.
Similarly, a partial recv() in unix_stream_read_generic() advances
UNIXCB(skb).consumed without pulling the skb header and leaves the
partially consumed skb at the head of sk->sk_receive_queue.
If the socket is subsequently read via unix_stream_read_skb() (used by
BPF sockmap), unix_stream_read_skb() only checks skb == u->oob_skb
(which is only true for an unconsumed OOB skb) and ignores
UNIXCB(skb).consumed. As a result, a consumed OOB skb (unix_skb_len(skb)
== 0) is handed to recv_actor() and re-delivers the already consumed OOB
byte, and a partially consumed skb re-delivers its already consumed
prefix.
In unix_stream_read_skb(), skip and free zero-length consumed skbs (after
calling unix_orphan_scm() so SCM_RIGHTS fd accounting remains balanced)
and pull UNIXCB(skb).consumed bytes via pskb_pull() (which safely handles
both linear and non-linear paged skbs) before invoking recv_actor().
Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 with BPF_MAP_TYPE_SOCKMAP and a
BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT program:
1. Consuming a 1-byte MSG_OOB packet ("Z") before inserting the socket
into sockmap and sending "HELLO" re-delivers "ZHELLO" on the unfixed
kernel, whereas with this patch applied recv() receives "HELLO!".
2. Consuming a 3-byte prefix ("123") of "12345678" before inserting the
socket into sockmap re-delivers "12345678" on the unfixed kernel,
whereas with this patch applied recv() receives "45678".
Fixes: 77462de14a43 ("af_unix: Add read_sock for stream socket types")
Fixes: 314001f0bf92 ("af_unix: Add OOB support")
Fixes: 638f32604385 ("af_unix: Disable MSG_OOB handling for sockets in sockmap/sockhash")

Changes in v2:
- Split out from the manage_oob() fix into patch 2/2 as requested by
Kuniyuki Iwashima.
- Call unix_orphan_scm(sk, skb) before consume_skb(skb) when dropping a
zero-length consumed skb so u->scm_stat.nr_fds is decremented, and use
pskb_pull() instead of skb_pull() to safely handle non-linear paged
skbs without hitting BUG() in __skb_pull(), as noted by Sashiko.
