tcp: do not send reset to already closed sockets
i've found that tcp_close() can be called for an already closed socket, but still sends reset in this case (tcp_send_active_reset()) which seems to be incorrect. Moreover, a packet with reset is sent with different source port as original port number has been already cleared on socket. Besides that incrementing stat counter for LINUX_MIB_TCPABORTONCLOSE also does not look correct in this case. Initially this issue was found on 2.6.18-x RHEL5 kernel, but the same seems to be true for the current mainstream kernel (checked on 2.6.35-rc3). Please, correct me if i missed something. How that happens: 1) the server receives a packet for socket in TCP_CLOSE_WAIT state that triggers a tcp_reset(): Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8025b9b9>] tcp_reset+0x12f/0x1e8 [<ffffffff80046125>] tcp_rcv_state_process+0x1c0/0xa08 [<ffffffff8003eb22>] tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x310/0x37a [<ffffffff80028bea>] tcp_v4_rcv+0x74d/0xb43 [<ffffffff8024ef4c>] ip_local_deliver_finish+0x0/0x259 [<ffffffff80037131>] ip_local_deliver+0x200/0x2f4 [<ffffffff8003843c>] ip_rcv+0x64c/0x69f [<ffffffff80021d89>] netif_receive_skb+0x4c4/0x4fa [<ffffffff80032eca>] process_backlog+0x90/0xec [<ffffffff8000cc50>] net_rx_action+0xbb/0x1f1 [<ffffffff80012d3a>] __do_softirq+0xf5/0x1ce [<ffffffff8001147a>] handle_IRQ_event+0x56/0xb0 [<ffffffff8006334c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x28 [<ffffffff80070476>] do_softirq+0x2c/0x85 [<ffffffff80070441>] do_IRQ+0x149/0x152 [<ffffffff80062665>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa <EOI> [<ffffffff80008a2e>] __handle_mm_fault+0x6cd/0x1303 [<ffffffff80008903>] __handle_mm_fault+0x5a2/0x1303 [<ffffffff80033a9d>] cache_free_debugcheck+0x21f/0x22e [<ffffffff8006a263>] do_page_fault+0x49a/0x7dc [<ffffffff80066487>] thread_return+0x89/0x174 [<ffffffff800c5aee>] audit_syscall_exit+0x341/0x35c [<ffffffff80062e39>] error_exit+0x0/0x84 tcp_rcv_state_process() ... // (sk_state == TCP_CLOSE_WAIT here) ... /* step 2: check RST bit */ if(th->rst) { tcp_reset(sk); goto discard; } ... --------------------------------- tcp_rcv_state_process tcp_reset tcp_done tcp_set_state(sk, TCP_CLOSE); inet_put_port __inet_put_port inet_sk(sk)->num = 0; sk->sk_shutdown = SHUTDOWN_MASK; 2) After that the process (socket owner) tries to write something to that socket and "inet_autobind" sets a _new_ (which differs from the original!) port number for the socket: Call Trace: [<ffffffff80255a12>] inet_bind_hash+0x33/0x5f [<ffffffff80257180>] inet_csk_get_port+0x216/0x268 [<ffffffff8026bcc9>] inet_autobind+0x22/0x8f [<ffffffff80049140>] inet_sendmsg+0x27/0x57 [<ffffffff8003a9d9>] do_sock_write+0xae/0xea [<ffffffff80226ac7>] sock_writev+0xdc/0xf6 [<ffffffff800680c7>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x9/0xe [<ffffffff8001fb49>] __pollwait+0x0/0xdd [<ffffffff8008d533>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xe [<ffffffff800a4f10>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff800f0b49>] do_readv_writev+0x163/0x274 [<ffffffff80066538>] thread_return+0x13a/0x174 [<ffffffff800145d8>] tcp_poll+0x0/0x1c9 [<ffffffff800c56d3>] audit_syscall_entry+0x180/0x1b3 [<ffffffff800f0dd0>] sys_writev+0x49/0xe4 [<ffffffff800622dd>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 3) sendmsg fails at last with -EPIPE (=> 'write' returns -EPIPE in userspace): F: tcp_sendmsg1 -EPIPE: sk=ffff81000bda00d0, sport=49847, old_state=7, new_state=7, sk_err=0, sk_shutdown=3 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80027557>] tcp_sendmsg+0xcb/0xe87 [<ffffffff80033300>] release_sock+0x10/0xae [<ffffffff8016f20f>] vgacon_cursor+0x0/0x1a7 [<ffffffff8026bd32>] inet_autobind+0x8b/0x8f [<ffffffff8003a9d9>] do_sock_write+0xae/0xea [<ffffffff80226ac7>] sock_writev+0xdc/0xf6 [<ffffffff800680c7>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x9/0xe [<ffffffff8001fb49>] __pollwait+0x0/0xdd [<ffffffff8008d533>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xe [<ffffffff800a4f10>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff800f0b49>] do_readv_writev+0x163/0x274 [<ffffffff80066538>] thread_return+0x13a/0x174 [<ffffffff800145d8>] tcp_poll+0x0/0x1c9 [<ffffffff800c56d3>] audit_syscall_entry+0x180/0x1b3 [<ffffffff800f0dd0>] sys_writev+0x49/0xe4 [<ffffffff800622dd>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 tcp_sendmsg() ... /* Wait for a connection to finish. */ if ((1 << sk->sk_state) & ~(TCPF_ESTABLISHED | TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT)) { int old_state = sk->sk_state; if ((err = sk_stream_wait_connect(sk, &timeo)) != 0) { if (f_d && (err == -EPIPE)) { printk("F: tcp_sendmsg1 -EPIPE: sk=%p, sport=%u, old_state=%d, new_state=%d, " "sk_err=%d, sk_shutdown=%d\n", sk, ntohs(inet_sk(sk)->sport), old_state, sk->sk_state, sk->sk_err, sk->sk_shutdown); dump_stack(); } goto out_err; } } ... 4) Then the process (socket owner) understands that it's time to close that socket and does that (and thus triggers sending reset packet): Call Trace: ...
