[PATCH v3] skbuff: fix a data race in skb_queue_len()

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Feb 04 2020 - 13:40:52 EST


sk_buff.qlen can be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __skb_try_recv_from_queue / unix_dgram_sendmsg

read to 0xffff8a1b1d8a81c0 of 4 bytes by task 5371 on cpu 96:
unix_dgram_sendmsg+0x9a9/0xb70 include/linux/skbuff.h:1821
net/unix/af_unix.c:1761
____sys_sendmsg+0x33e/0x370
___sys_sendmsg+0xa6/0xf0
__sys_sendmsg+0x69/0xf0
__x64_sys_sendmsg+0x51/0x70
do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

write to 0xffff8a1b1d8a81c0 of 4 bytes by task 1 on cpu 99:
__skb_try_recv_from_queue+0x327/0x410 include/linux/skbuff.h:2029
__skb_try_recv_datagram+0xbe/0x220
unix_dgram_recvmsg+0xee/0x850
____sys_recvmsg+0x1fb/0x210
___sys_recvmsg+0xa2/0xf0
__sys_recvmsg+0x66/0xf0
__x64_sys_recvmsg+0x51/0x70
do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

Since only the read is operating as lockless, it could introduce a logic
bug in unix_recvq_full() due to the load tearing. Fix it by adding
a lockless variant of skb_queue_len() and unix_recvq_full() where
READ_ONCE() is on the read while WRITE_ONCE() is on the write similar to
the commit d7d16a89350a ("net: add skb_queue_empty_lockless()").

v3: fix minor issues thanks to Eric.
v2: add lockless variant helpers and WRITE_ONCE().
