From 62708b9452f8eb77513115b17c4f8d1a22ebf843 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 19:19:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tls: fix handling of zero-length records on the rx_list
Each recvmsg() call must process either - only contiguous DATA records (any number of them) - one non-DATA record
If the next record has different type than what has already been processed we break out of the main processing loop. If the record has already been decrypted (which may be the case for TLS 1.3 where we don't know type until decryption) we queue the pending record to the rx_list. Next recvmsg() will pick it up from there.
Queuing the skb to rx_list after zero-copy decrypt is not possible, since in that case we decrypted directly to the user space buffer, and we don't have an skb to queue (darg.skb points to the ciphertext skb for access to metadata like length).
Only data records are allowed zero-copy, and we break the processing loop after each non-data record. So we should never zero-copy and then find out that the record type has changed. The corner case we missed is when the initial record comes from rx_list, and it's zero length.
