[PATCH 4.4 02/26] af_unix: fix garbage collect vs MSG_PEEK

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit cbcf01128d0a92e131bd09f1688fe032480b65ca upstream.

unix_gc() assumes that candidate sockets can never gain an external
reference (i.e.  be installed into an fd) while the unix_gc_lock is
held.  Except for MSG_PEEK this is guaranteed by modifying inflight
count under the unix_gc_lock.

MSG_PEEK does not touch any variable protected by unix_gc_lock (file
count is not), yet it needs to be serialized with garbage collection.
Do this by locking/unlocking unix_gc_lock:

 1) increment file count

 2) lock/unlock barrier to make sure incremented file count is visible
    to garbage collection

 3) install file into fd

This is a lock barrier (unlike smp_mb()) that ensures that garbage
collection is run completely before or completely after the barrier.

+	 * that non-candidates can later be ignored.  While inflight_refs is
+	 * protected by unix_gc_lock, total_refs (file count) is not, hence this
+	 * is an instantaneous decision.
+	 *
+	 * Once a candidate, however, the socket must not be reinstalled into a

+	 *
+	 * If the above conditions are met, then the directed graph of

+	 *
+	 * Any operations that changes the file count through file descriptors
+	 * (dup, close, sendmsg) does not change the graph since candidates are
+	 * not installed in fds.
+	 *
+	 * Dequeing a candidate via recvmsg would install it into an fd, but
+	 * that takes unix_gc_lock to decrement the inflight count, so it's
+	 * serialized with garbage collection.
+	 *
+	 * MSG_PEEK is special in that it does not change the inflight count,
+	 * yet does install the socket into an fd.  The following lock/unlock
+	 * pair is to ensure serialization with garbage collection.  It must be
+	 * done between incrementing the file count and installing the file into
+	 * an fd.
+	 *
+	 * If garbage collection starts after the barrier provided by the
+	 * lock/unlock, then it will see the elevated refcount and not mark this
+	 * as a candidate.  If a garbage collection is already in progress
+	 * before the file count was incremented, then the lock/unlock pair will
+	 * ensure that garbage collection is finished before progressing to
