    bpf: tcp_read_skb needs to pop skb regardless of seq · 9b7177b1
    John Fastabend authored
    Before fix e5c6de5f tcp_read_skb() would increment the tp->copied-seq
    value. This (as described in the commit) would cause an error for apps
    because once that is incremented the application might believe there is no
    data to be read. Then some apps would stall or abort believing no data is
    available.
    
    However, the fix is incomplete because it introduces another issue in
    the skb dequeue. The loop does tcp_recv_skb() in a while loop to consume
    as many skbs as possible. The problem is the call is ...
    
      tcp_recv_skb(sk, seq, &offset)
    
    ... where 'seq' is:
    
      u32 seq = tp->copied_seq;
    
    Now we can hit a case where we've yet incremented copied_seq from BPF side,
    but then tcp_recv_skb() fails this test ...
    
     if (offset < skb->len || (TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags & TCPHDR_FIN))
    
    ... so that instead of returning the skb we call tcp_eat_recv_skb() which
    frees the skb. This is because the routine believes the SKB has been collapsed
    per comment:
    
     /* This looks weird, but this can happen if TCP collapsing
      * splitted a fat GRO packet, while we released socket lock
      * in skb_splice_bits()
      */
    
    This can't happen here we've unlinked the full SKB and orphaned it. Anyways
    it would confuse any BPF programs if the data were suddenly moved underneath
    it.
    
    To fix this situation do simpler operation and just skb_peek() the data
    of the queue followed by the unlink. It shouldn't need to check this
    condition and tcp_read_skb() reads entire skbs so there is no need to
    handle the 'offset!=0' case as we would see in tcp_read_sock().
