Subject: [PATCH net] tls: fix send() returning success after the TCP send failed
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 14:36:48 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113193649.3822306-1-hengyul@cs.unc.edu> (raw)

Commit b341ca51d267 ("tls: Fix tls_sw_sendmsg error handling") made
tls_tx_records() pass the error of the TCP send to tls_err_abort()
instead of -EBADMSG.

However, bpf_exec_tx_verdict() still looks for EBADMSG in sk_err to
tell that the record was not sent. With any other error, the record
stays counted. As of now, send() on a kTLS socket returns success after
the TCP connection can no longer send, for example after
shutdown(SHUT_WR) or after a reset. Nothing reaches the peer, and the
caller is not told.

The issue can be reproduced with:

    python3 - <<'EOF'
    import socket, struct
    l = socket.create_server(("127.0.0.1", 0))
    c = socket.create_connection(l.getsockname())
    c.setsockopt(socket.SOL_TCP, 31, b"tls")
    c.setsockopt(282, 1, struct.pack("HH", 0x0303, 51) + bytes(36))
    c.shutdown(socket.SHUT_WR)
    print(c.send(b"hello"))
    EOF

Before commit b341ca51d267 ("tls: Fix tls_sw_sendmsg error handling"),
the result is:

    OSError: [Errno 74] Bad message

After that commit, the result is:

    5

This patch will make bpf_exec_tx_verdict() check for any error in
sk_err. The send() above then fails with EPIPE, as it does on a plain
TCP socket.

Tested on net: with this patch, the send() above and a send() after a
reset fail with EPIPE, and a send() on a TCP_REPAIR socket fails with
EINVAL, as they do on a plain TCP socket. The tls selftests pass.

Not addressed here: a caller that ignores the error and sends again
still gets one more record queued per send(), because
sk_stream_error() clears sk_err for EPIPE. Before commit b341ca51d267
the EBADMSG stayed set and later sends failed early.
