tipc: fix race condition causing hung sendto
When sending multicast messages via blocking socket, if sending link is congested (tsk->cong_link_cnt is set to 1), the sending thread will be put into sleeping state. However, tipc_sk_filter_rcv() is called under socket spin lock but tipc_wait_for_cond() is not. So, there is no guarantee that the setting of tsk->cong_link_cnt to 0 in tipc_sk_proto_rcv() in CPU-1 will be perceived by CPU-0. If that is the case, the sending thread in CPU-0 after being waken up, will continue to see tsk->cong_link_cnt as 1 and put the sending thread into sleeping state again. The sending thread will sleep forever. CPU-0 | CPU-1 tipc_wait_for_cond() | { | // condition_ = !tsk->cong_link_cnt | while ((rc_ = !(condition_))) { | ... | release_sock(sk_); | wait_woken(); | | if (!sock_owned_by_user(sk)) | tipc_sk_filter_rcv() | { | ... | tipc_sk_proto_rcv() | { | ... | tsk->cong_link_cnt--; | ... | sk->sk_write_space(sk); | ... | } | ... | } sched_annotate_sleep(); | lock_sock(sk_); | remove_wait_queue(); | } | } | This commit fixes it by adding memory barrier to tipc_sk_proto_rcv() and tipc_wait_for_cond().
