Subject: [PATCH net v11 03/17] rxrpc: Fix update of call->tx_pending without holding lock
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:36:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923133706.1496540-4-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923133706.1496540-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
Currently, rxrpc_send_data() updates call->tx_pending just before it
returns - but it won't be holding the call->user_mutex when it does this if
a wait was interrupted by a signal. This would allow a parallel sendmsg()
to race.
Further, both the callers of rxrpc_send_data() call it with the lock held,
and then it returns an indication through the parameter list to say whether
it has dropped the lock or not - after which the callers both just drop the
lock if it's still held.
Fix this by:
(1) Moving the release of call->user_mutex down into rxrpc_send_data() and
get rid of the indicator parameter. This makes it easier to see where
the lock is held.
(2) After waiting, if the attempt to reacquire the mutex is interrupted,
just return directly there rather than going to out_unlock
(3) Restricting the txb variable to inside the buffering loop and leaving
->tx_pending set until we've queued the buffer.
Note that there's a slight change in behaviour in that wait_for_space
failure now doesn't check for completion because it doesn't hold the call
user_mutex. The caller, however, should re-issue the send and pick up any
error at a second attempt.
Fixes: b0f571ecd794 ("rxrpc: Fix locking in rxrpc's sendmsg")
