From: Sowmini Varadhan sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com
commit 681648e67d43cf269c5590ecf021ed481f4551fc upstream.
Commit 8edc3affc077 ("rds: tcp: Take explicit refcounts on struct net") introduces a regression in rds-tcp netns cleanup. The cleanup_net(), (and thus rds_tcp_dev_event notification) is only called from put_net() when all netns refcounts go to 0, but this cannot happen if the rds_connection itself is holding a c_net ref that it expects to release in rds_tcp_kill_sock.
Instead, the rds_tcp_kill_sock callback should make sure to tear down state carefully, ensuring that the socket teardown is only done after all data-structures and workqs that depend on it are quiesced.
The original motivation for commit 8edc3affc077 ("rds: tcp: Take explicit refcounts on struct net") was to resolve a race condition reported by syzkaller where workqs for tx/rx/connect were triggered after the namespace was deleted. Those worker threads should have been cancelled/flushed before socket tear-down and indeed, rds_conn_path_destroy() does try to sequence this by doing /* cancel cp_send_w */ /* cancel cp_recv_w */ /* flush cp_down_w */ /* free data structures */ Here the "flush cp_down_w" will trigger rds_conn_shutdown and thus invoke rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown() to close the tcp socket, so that we ought to have satisfied the requirement that "socket-close is done after all other dependent state is quiesced". However, rds_conn_shutdown has a bug in that it *always* triggers the reconnect workq (and if connection is successful, we always restart tx/rx workqs so with the right timing, we risk the race conditions reported by syzkaller).
Netns deletion is like module teardown- no need to restart a reconnect in this case. We can use the c_destroy_in_prog bit to avoid restarting the reconnect.
