[PATCH v1] SUNRPC: Reject a socket that already has an svc_sock attached

From: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-08-15 16:28:48
Also in: linux-nfs, lkml
Subsystem: kernel nfsd, sunrpc, and lockd servers, networking [general], nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Chuck Lever, Jeff Layton, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

Writing the same socket descriptor to /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist twice
attaches a second svc_sock to one socket. svc_setup_socket() saves
the socket's callbacks before installing its own, so the second
attach records svc_write_space() as the old write_space callback.
svc_udp_init() invokes that callback by way of svc_sock_setbufsize(),
and svc_write_space() then calls itself until the kernel stack is
exhausted:

svc_data_ready() and svc_tcp_state_change() chain through their saved
callbacks the same way, so a TCP descriptor added twice recurses on
the next incoming segment instead. Reaching any of this takes a
writer on portlist, and the nfsd filesystem sets no FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
so the reproducer needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace.

Reject a socket that already carries sk_user_data. svc_setup_socket()
overwrites that field unconditionally, so a socket some other
consumer has claimed is one NFSD would corrupt whether or not the
callbacks recurse.

Fixes: b41b66d63c73 ("[PATCH] knfsd: allow sockets to be passed to nfsd via 'portlist'")
