While creating a child socket, before v2.3.41, we used to call
bh_lock_sock() later than now; it was called just before
tcp_rcv_state_process(). The full socket was put into an accept queue
and exposed to other CPUs before bh_lock_sock() so that process context
might have acquired the lock by then. Thus, we had to check if any
process context was accessing the socket before tcp_rcv_state_process().
We can see this code in tcp_v4_do_rcv() of v2.3.14. [0]
if (sk->state == TCP_LISTEN) {
struct sock *nsk;
nsk = tcp_v4_hnd_req(sk, skb);
...
if (nsk != sk) {
bh_lock_sock(nsk);
if (nsk->lock.users != 0) {
...
sk_add_backlog(nsk, skb);
bh_unlock_sock(nsk);
return 0;
}
...
}
}
if (tcp_rcv_state_process(sk, skb, skb->h.th, skb->len))
goto reset;
However, in 2.3.15, this lock.users test was replaced with BUG_TRAP() by
mistake. [1]
if (nsk != sk) {
...
BUG_TRAP(nsk->lock.users == 0);
...
ret = tcp_rcv_state_process(nsk, skb, skb->h.th, skb->len);
...
bh_unlock_sock(nsk);
...
return 0;
}
Fortunately, the test was back in 2.3.41. [2] Then, related code was
packed into tcp_child_process() with comments, which remains until now.
What is interesting in v2.3.41 is that the bh_lock_sock() was moved to
tcp_create_openreq_child() and placed just after sock_lock_init().
Thus, the lock is never acquired until tcp_rcv_state_process() by process
contexts. The bh_lock_sock() is now in sk_clone_lock() and the rule does
not change.
As of now, alas, it is not possible to reach the commented path by the
change. Let's remove the remnant of the old days.
