Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] nvme-tcp: consume TLS records without application data
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 15:42:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111-nvme-tcp-live-ctrlrec-v2-3-6295202b84de@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111-nvme-tcp-live-ctrlrec-v2-0-6295202b84de@gmail.com>
From: Martin Belanger <martin.belanger@dell.com>
A peer may send a TLS record without application data at any time
after the handshake: a NewSessionTicket, a KeyUpdate or an alert.
tls_sw_read_sock() cannot pass such a record to nvme_tcp_recv_skb().
It returns -EINVAL and leaves the record at the head of the receive
queue. nvme_tcp_try_recv() then starts error recovery, and the
controller reconnects.
TLS 1.3 allows a server to send a NewSessionTicket at any time after
the handshake (RFC 8446, section 4.6.1). Alerts can also arrive at any
time.
On -EINVAL, read the record with recvmsg(), which reports the record
type. Discard handshake messages other than KeyUpdate. Log alerts, and
fail the queue on a fatal alert. Fail the queue on a KeyUpdate, which
nvme-tcp cannot answer, and on any other record type. recvmsg() takes
the socket lock, so release it around the read.
On a poll queue, nvme_tcp_poll() and nvme_tcp_io_work() can both see
the record while the socket lock is released. A queue flag makes sure
that only one of them reads it.
svc_tcp_recvfrom() in sunrpc handles -EINVAL from read_sock() the same
way.
Fixes: be8e82caa685 ("nvme-tcp: enable TLS handshake upcall")
