In related news, looks like bpf_iter_unix_seq_show() is missing unix_state_lock(): lock_sock_fast() won't stop unix_release_sock(). E.g. bpf iterator can grab unix_sock::peer as it is being released.If the concern is the bpf iterator prog may use a released unix_peer(sk) pointer, it should be fine. The unix_peer(sk) pointer is not a trusted pointer to the bpf prog, so nothing bad will happen other than potentially reading incorrect values.
But if the prog passes a released peer pointer to a bpf helper: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bpf_skc_to_unix_sock+0x95/0xb0 Read of size 1 at addr ffff888110654c92 by task test_progs/1936 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x5d/0x80 print_report+0x170/0x4f3 kasan_report+0xe1/0x180 bpf_skc_to_unix_sock+0x95/0xb0 bpf_prog_382743e45576abd5_dump_unix+0x4a0/0x576 bpf_iter_run_prog+0x5b9/0xb00 bpf_iter_unix_seq_show+0x1f7/0x2e0 bpf_seq_read+0x42c/0x10d0 vfs_read+0x171/0xb20 ksys_read+0xff/0x200 do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x3a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Allocated by task 1941: kasan_save_stack+0x30/0x50 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 __kasan_slab_alloc+0x63/0x80 kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x1f7/0x6f0 sk_prot_alloc+0x59/0x210 sk_alloc+0x34/0x470 unix_create1+0x86/0x8a0 unix_create+0xd4/0x2d0 __sock_create+0x243/0x5a0 __sys_socket+0x119/0x1d0 __x64_sys_socket+0x72/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x3a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Freed by task 1941: kasan_save_stack+0x30/0x50 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x3b/0x70 __kasan_slab_free+0x47/0x70 kmem_cache_free+0x12c/0x5d0 __sk_destruct+0x432/0x6e0 unix_release_sock+0x9b3/0xf60 unix_release_sock+0x99f/0xf60 unix_release+0x8a/0xf0 __sock_release+0xb0/0x270 sock_close+0x18/0x20 __fput+0x36e/0xac0 fput_close_sync+0xe5/0x1a0 __x64_sys_close+0x7d/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x3a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e
