When a SOCK_(STREAM|SEQPACKET) socket connect()s to another one, we need to lock the two sockets to check their states in unix_stream_connect(). We use unix_state_lock() for the server and unix_state_lock_nested() for client with tricky sk->sk_state check to avoid deadlock. The possible deadlock scenario are the following: 1) Self connect() 2) Simultaneous connect() The former is simple, attempt to grab the same lock, and the latter is AB-BA deadlock. After the server's unix_state_lock(), we check the server socket's state, and if it's not TCP_LISTEN, connect() fails with -EINVAL. Then, we avoid the former deadlock by checking the client's state before unix_state_lock_nested(). If its state is not TCP_LISTEN, we can make sure that the client and the server are not identical based on the state. Also, the latter deadlock can be avoided in the same way. Due to the server sk->sk_state requirement, AB-BA deadlock could happen only with TCP_LISTEN sockets. So, if the client's state is TCP_LISTEN, we can give up the second lock to avoid the deadlock. CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3 connect(A -> B) connect(B -> A) listen(A) --- --- --- unix_state_lock(B) B->sk_state == TCP_LISTEN READ_ONCE(A->sk_state) == TCP_CLOSE ^^^^^^^^^ ok, will lock A unix_state_lock(A) .--------------' WRITE_ONCE(A->sk_state, TCP_LISTEN) | unix_state_unlock(A) | | unix_state_lock(A) | A->sk_sk_state == TCP_LISTEN | READ_ONCE(B->sk_state) == TCP_LISTEN v ^^^^^^^^^^ unix_state_lock_nested(A) Don't lock B !! Currently, while checking the client's state, we also check if it's TCP_ESTABLISHED, but this is unlikely and can be checked after we know the state is not TCP_CLOSE. Moreover, if it happens after the second lock, we now jump to the restart label, but it's unlikely that the server is not found during the retry, so the jump is mostly to revist the client state check. Let's remove the retry logic and check the state against TCP_CLOSE first. Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
