maintainerPATCH v2 1/3 mptcp: avoid unneeded actions on subflow reset
From: Paolo Abeni <[email protected]>
commit 2b0f561f21b27c40c91ea4975268a06092bd7e9c upstream.
Once in a blue moon, the mptcp receive path can recursively call mptcp_data_ready() via state change under unlucky error conditions, and then try to hold the data lock again.
Break the recursion loop explicitly checking for the exceptional condition.
Add a new flag instead of using an existing one like 'closing', to exit early in subflow_state_change(), and explicitly flush the RX queue at reset time.
This avoids unneeded processing to check for available data -- calling get_mapping_status() and more on a dying subflow -- but also in error reporting and worker scheduling.
Note that we must consume the currently peeked skb before invoking mptcp_dss_corruption to avoid consuming it again after the eventual reset has freed it.
[ Note: conflict in protocol.c, because commit e0ca4057e0ec ("mptcp:
micro-optimize __mptcp_move_skb()") is not in this version, and is part of a consequent rx path refactor. The conflict is in the context, and is easy to resolve, "done = true" can be moved along without consequences.
Also a conflict in protocol.h, because __unused is at a different number. Decrement the one from this version and add the new flag above. ]

maintainerPATCH v2 2/3 mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change
In reply to Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)From: Paolo Abeni <[email protected]>
commit 42064de57fb83231fcc89663a94885f228a1ee53 upstream.
The mptcp scheduler may race with subflow sockets state change: data transmission on the selected socket may fail and a later release could try to use mss_now reset to 0 for a divide operation.
Address the issue by explicitly checking for the critical scenario.

maintainerPATCH v2 3/3 mptcp: fix bad accounting in __mptcp_subflow_push_pending()
In reply to Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)From: Paolo Abeni <[email protected]>
commit f3ef03357396d4b147d8e76c75fb612c2f264ffc upstream.
If __subflow_push_pending() errors out we should avoid updating the copied byte counters, to avoid mismatch push call later on.
