[PATCH net-next 4/4] net/rds: acquire RDS_IN_XMIT in rds_tcp_reset_callbacks()

From: Allison Henderson <achender@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-08-06 07:20:49
Also in: linux-rdma
Subsystem: networking [general], rds - reliable datagram sockets, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Allison Henderson, Linus Torvalds

rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() quiesces the transmit path by setting the
path state to RDS_CONN_RESETTING and then waiting for RDS_IN_XMIT to
be sampled clear before swapping the underlying socket and calling
rds_send_path_reset().

As in rds_conn_shutdown(), sampling the bit clear is not the same as
owning it: rds_send_xmit() can re-acquire RDS_IN_XMIT right after the
wait_event() returns.  Its state recheck after taking the lock is a
store-buffering pattern (teardown writes the state and reads the bit,
the sender writes the bit and reads the state) and acquire_in_xmit()
is only an acquire operation, so on weakly ordered architectures both
sides can miss each other's write and the transmit path then runs
concurrently with rds_send_path_reset() rewriting cp_xmit_* state.

Take the lock instead, hold it across the socket swap and
rds_send_path_reset(), and release it with a wake-up at the end.  The
lock-ordering constraint documented above the wait still holds: the
lock is acquired before lock_sock(), so a sender inside tcp_sendmsg()
can never be waited on while we hold the socket lock.  The !osock
early path is unchanged: it does not quiesce today and the connection
has never been RDS_CONN_UP at that point, so there is no sender to
serialize against.

This extends the previous change ("net/rds: acquire
the fastpath locks in rds_conn_shutdown()") to the only other
rds_send_path_reset() call site, mirroring Oracle UEK's "rds: Make sure
transmit path and connection tear-down does not run concurrently".

Fixes: 335b48d980f6 ("RDS: TCP: Add/use rds_tcp_reset_callbacks to reset tcp socket safely")
