[PATCH] af_unix: fix garbage collect vs. MSG_PEEK

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu Sep 29 2016 - 08:09:35 EST


Gc assumes that in-flight sockets that don't have an external ref can't
gain one while unix_gc_lock is held. That is true because
unix_notinflight() will be called before detaching fds, which takes
unix_gc_lock.

Only MSG_PEEK was somehow overlooked. That one also clones the fds, also
keeping them in the skb. But through MSG_PEEK an external reference can
definitely be gained without ever touching unix_gc_lock.

This patch adds unix_gc_barrier() that waits for a garbage collect run to
finish (if there is one), before actually installing the peeked in-flight
files to file descriptors. This prevents problems from a pure in-flight
socket having its buffers modified while the garbage collect is taking
place.
