Jiayuan Chen 76be5fae32 bpf, sockmap: Fix psock incorrectly pointing to sk
We observed an issue from the latest selftest: sockmap_redir where
sk_psock(psock->sk) != psock in the backlog. The root cause is the special
behavior in sockmap_redir - it frequently performs map_update() and
map_delete() on the same socket. During map_update(), we create a new
psock and during map_delete(), we eventually free the psock via rcu_work
in sk_psock_drop(). However, pending workqueues might still exist and not
be processed yet. If users immediately perform another map_update(), a new
psock will be allocated for the same sk, resulting in two psocks pointing
to the same sk.

When the pending workqueue is later triggered, it uses the old psock to
access sk for I/O operations, which is incorrect.

Timing Diagram:

cpu0                        cpu1

map_update(sk):
    sk->psock = psock1
    psock1->sk = sk
map_delete(sk):
   rcu_work_free(psock1)

map_update(sk):
    sk->psock = psock2
    psock2->sk = sk
                            workqueue:
                                wakeup with psock1, but the sk of psock1
                                doesn't belong to psock1
rcu_handler:
    clean psock1
    free(psock1)

Previously, we used reference counting to address the concurrency issue
between backlog and sock_map_close(). This logic remains necessary as it
prevents the sk from being freed while processing the backlog. But this
patch prevents pending backlogs from using a psock after it has been
stopped.

Note: We cannot call cancel_delayed_work_sync() in map_delete() since this
might be invoked in BPF context by BPF helper, and the function may sleep.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
