When adding tcp mmap() implementation, I forgot that socket lock had to be taken before current->mm->mmap_sem. syzbot eventually caught the bug. Since we can not lock the socket in tcp mmap() handler we have to split the operation in two phases. 1) mmap() on a tcp socket simply reserves VMA space, and nothing else. This operation does not involve any TCP locking. 2) getsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE, ...) implements the transfert of pages from skbs to one VMA. This operation only uses down_read(¤t->mm->mmap_sem) after holding TCP lock, thus solving the lockdep issue. This new implementation was suggested by Andy Lutomirski with great details. Benefits are : - Better scalability, in case multiple threads reuse VMAS (without mmap()/munmap() calls) since mmap_sem wont be write locked. - Better error recovery. The previous mmap() model had to provide the expected size of the mapping. If for some reason one part could not be mapped (partial MSS), the whole operation had to be aborted. With the tcp_zerocopy_receive struct, kernel can report how many bytes were successfuly mapped, and how many bytes should be read to skip the problematic sequence. - No more memory allocation to hold an array of page pointers. 16 MB mappings needed 32 KB for this array, potentially using vmalloc() :/ - skbs are freed while mmap_sem has been released Following patch makes the change in tcp_mmap tool to demonstrate one possible use of mmap() and setsockopt(... TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE ...) Note that memcg might require additional changes.
