[PATCH net v2 1/1] udp: diag: bound bucket lock hold time
From: Zihan Xi
Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 06:38:17 EST
udp_diag_dump() currently keeps the UDP hash bucket spinlock held while
running the request's bytecode filter and filling a netlink response for
every socket in the bucket. A large filter and a heavily populated bucket
can therefore keep bottom halves disabled for an attacker-scaled amount of
time.
Collect at most SKARR_SZ matching sockets under the bucket lock, taking a
reference for each socket, then run the filter and fill the response after
releasing the lock. Resume with the existing (slot, s_num) dump state so
the next batch can skip already-walked sockets. Leave bytecode filtering
until after unlock; unlike tcp_diag, a rejecting inet_diag bytecode program
is the expensive part of this walk.
Fixes: b6d640c2286d ("udp_diag: Implement the dump-all functionality")

changes in v2:
- Drop the hash-list cursor, dump_done callback, extra module
reference, and inet_diag core changes. Dump state is only
(slot, s_num), so the existing handler get/put around dump() is
enough and udp_diag no longer manages its own module lifetime.
- Batch at most SKARR_SZ matching sockets under the bucket lock
like tcp_diag, and run bytecode filtering plus netlink fill after
unlock.
