[PATCH 5.10.y] tcp: clear sock_ops cb flags before force-closing a child socket
From: Miguel Gazquez (Schneider Electric)
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 05:07:31 EST
From: Sechang Lim <rhkrqnwk98@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 990348e5bb457697c2f1f7f7b65154a3334d9d2b ]
A child socket inherits the listener's bpf_sock_ops_cb_flags via
sk_clone_lock(). If its setup fails in tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock() /
tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock(), the child is freed through put_and_exit, where
inet_csk_prepare_forced_close() drops the socket lock and tcp_done() runs
without it.
If BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB_FLAG was inherited, tcp_done() -> tcp_set_state()
calls tcp_call_bpf(), which expects the lock and trips sock_owned_by_me():
WARNING: include/net/sock.h:1799 at tcp_set_state+0x433/0x550
RIP: 0010:tcp_set_state+0x433/0x550 include/net/sock.h:1799
Call Trace:
<IRQ>

</IRQ>
The child is freed before it is ever established, so it should run no
sock_ops callback. Clear its cb flags in inet_csk_prepare_for_destroy_sock(),
the common point for the IPv4, IPv6 and chtls forced-close paths and for the
MPTCP ->syn_recv_sock() failure path (dispose_child), which reaches tcp_done()
on a child that was never established too.

[ Moved inet_csk_prepare_for_destroy_sock() to inet_connection_sock.c due to header dependency,
Added a guard arount the call to tcp_clear_sock_ops_cb_flags to avoid
calling it for DDCP sockets.]
