tcp_bpf: Fix one concurrency problem in the tcp_bpf_send_verdict function
With two Msgs, msgA and msgB and a user doing nonblocking sendmsg calls (or multiple cores) on a single socket 'sk' we could get the following flow. msgA, sk msgB, sk ----------- --------------- tcp_bpf_sendmsg() lock(sk) psock = sk->psock tcp_bpf_sendmsg() lock(sk) ... blocking tcp_bpf_send_verdict if (psock->eval == NONE) psock->eval = sk_psock_msg_verdict .. < handle SK_REDIRECT case > release_sock(sk) < lock dropped so grab here > ret = tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir psock = sk->psock tcp_bpf_send_verdict lock_sock(sk) ... blocking on B if (psock->eval == NONE) <- boom. psock->eval will have msgA state The problem here is we dropped the lock on msgA and grabbed it with msgB. Now we have old state in psock and importantly psock->eval has not been cleared. So msgB will run whatever action was done on A and the verdict program may never see it.
