It seems due to RCU usage, i.e. within SCTP's address binding list,
a, say, ``behavioral change'' was introduced which does actually
not conform to the RFC anymore. In particular consider the following
(fictional) scenario to demonstrate this:
do:
Two SOCK_SEQPACKET-style sockets are opened (S1, S2)
S1 is bound to 127.0.0.1, port 1024 [server]
S2 is bound to 127.0.0.1, port 1025 [client]
listen(2) is invoked on S1
From S2 we call one sendmsg(2) with msg.msg_name and
msg.msg_namelen parameters set to the server's
address
S1, S2 are closed
goto do
The first pass of this loop passes successful, while the second round
fails during binding of S1 (address still in use). What is happening?
In the first round, the initial handshake is being done, and, at the
time close(2) is called on S1, a non-graceful shutdown is performed via
ABORT since in S1's receive queue an unprocessed packet is present,
thus stating an error condition. This can be considered as a correct
behavior.
During close also all bound addresses are freed, thus nothing *must*
be active anymore. In reference to RFC2960:
After checking the Verification Tag, the receiving endpoint shall
remove the association from its record, and shall report the
termination to its upper layer. (9.1 Abort of an Association)
Also, no half-open states are supported, thus after an ungraceful
shutdown, we leave nothing behind. However, this seems not to be
happening though. In a real-world scenario, this is exactly where
it breaks the lksctp-tools functional test suite, *for instance*:
./test_sockopt
test_sockopt.c 1 PASS : getsockopt(SCTP_STATUS) on a socket with no assoc
test_sockopt.c 2 PASS : getsockopt(SCTP_STATUS)
test_sockopt.c 3 PASS : getsockopt(SCTP_STATUS) with invalid associd
test_sockopt.c 4 PASS : getsockopt(SCTP_STATUS) with NULL associd
test_sockopt.c 5 BROK : bind: Address already in use
The underlying problem is that sctp_endpoint_destroy() hasn't been
triggered yet while the next bind attempt is being done. It will be
triggered eventually (but too late) by sctp_transport_destroy_rcu()
after one RCU grace period:
sctp_transport_destroy()
sctp_transport_destroy_rcu() ----.
sctp_association_put() [*] <--+--> sctp_packet_free()
sctp_association_destroy() [...]
sctp_endpoint_put() skb->destructor
sctp_endpoint_destroy() sctp_wfree()
sctp_bind_addr_free() sctp_association_put() [*]
Thus, we move out the condition with sctp_association_put() as well as
the sctp_packet_free() invocation and the issue can be solved. We also
better free the SCTP chunks first before putting the ref of the association.
With this patch, the example above (which simulates a similar scenario
as in the implementation of this test case) and therefore also the test
suite run successfully through. Tested by myself.
