vsock/virtio: bind uarg before filling zerocopy skb

2026-06-09T10:28:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1e584c304cfb94a759417130b1fc6d30b30c4cce ] virtio_transport_send_pkt_info() allocates or reuses the zerocopy uarg before entering the send loop, but virtio_transport_alloc_skb() still fills the skb before it inherits that uarg. When fixed-buffer vectored zerocopy hits MAX_SKB_FRAGS, io_sg_from_iter() may partially attach managed frags and return -EMSGSIZE. The rollback path call kfree_skb() to free an skb that carries SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS but no uarg, so skb_release_data() falls through to ordinary frag unref. Pass the uarg into virtio_transport_alloc_skb() and bind it immediately before virtio_transport_fill_skb(). This keeps control or no-payload skbs untouched while ensuring success and rollback share one lifetime rule.

vsock: keep poll shutdown state consistent

2026-06-09T10:28:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit aae9d8a5528b8ee9ff8dc5d3558b8a9f852a724a ] vsock_poll() reads vsk->peer_shutdown before taking the socket lock to set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLRDHUP, then reads it again after taking the lock to report EOF readability. A shutdown packet can update peer_shutdown while poll is waiting for the lock, so one poll invocation can report EOF readability without the corresponding HUP/RDHUP bits. For connectible sockets, take one peer_shutdown snapshot after lock_sock() and use it for all peer-shutdown-derived poll bits. For datagram sockets, which do not take lock_sock() in poll(), take one lockless READ_ONCE() snapshot and pair it with WRITE_ONCE() on the writer side. This keeps the peer-shutdown-derived bits internally consistent for each poll pass.

vsock/virtio: fix zerocopy completion for multi-skb sends

2026-06-01T15:51:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit ae38d9179190a956e2a87a69ef1dd6f451b51c4d ] When a large message is fragmented into multiple skbs, the zerocopy uarg is only allocated and attached to the last skb in the loop. Non-final skbs carry pinned user pages with no completion tracking, so the kernel has no way to notify userspace when those pages are safe to reuse. If the loop breaks early the uarg is never allocated at all, leaking pinned pages with no completion notification. Fix this by following the approach used by TCP: allocate the zerocopy uarg (if not provided by the caller) before the send loop and attach it to every skb via skb_zcopy_set(), which takes a reference per skb. Each skb's completion properly decrements the refcount, and the notification only fires after the last skb is freed. On failure, if no data was sent, the uarg is cleanly aborted via net_zcopy_put_abort(). This issue was initially discovered by sashiko while reviewing commit 1cb36e252211 ("vsock/virtio: fix MSG_ZEROCOPY pinned-pages accounting") but was pre-existing.

vsock/virtio: reset connection on receiving queue overflow

2026-06-01T15:50:44+00:00

commit a4f0b001782b21663d10df983b4b208195bec66c upstream. When there is no more space to queue an incoming packet, the packet is silently dropped. This causes data loss without any notification to either peer, since there is no retransmission. Under normal circumstances, this should never happen. However, it could happen if the other peer doesn't respect the credit, or if the skb overhead, which we recently began to take into account with commit 059b7dbd20a6 ("vsock/virtio: fix potential unbounded skb queue"), is too high. Fix this by resetting the connection and setting the local socket error to ENOBUFS when virtio_transport_recv_enqueue() can no longer queue a packet, so both peers are explicitly notified of the failure rather than silently losing data.

vsock/vmci: fix UAF when peer resets connection during handshake

2026-06-01T15:50:44+00:00

commit 99e22ddf4edb63dc8382bc028af928056d3450cf upstream. vmci_transport_recv_connecting_server() returned err = 0 for a peer RST in its default switch arm: err = pkt->type == VMCI_TRANSPORT_PACKET_TYPE_RST ? 0 : -EINVAL; That made vmci_transport_recv_listen() skip vsock_remove_pending(), leaving the pending socket on the listener's pending_links with sk_state = TCP_CLOSE while destroy: still dropped the explicit reference taken before schedule_delayed_work(). One second later vsock_pending_work() observed is_pending=true and performed full cleanup: vsock_remove_pending() then the two trailing sock_put(sk) calls -- the first reached refcount 0 and __sk_freed the socket, and the second wrote into the freed object: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in refcount_warn_saturate Write of size 4 at addr ffff88800b1cac80 by task kworker Workqueue: events vsock_pending_work Treat peer RST like any other unexpected packet type (err = -EINVAL). All destroy: arms now return err < 0, so vmci_transport_recv_listen() removes pending from pending_links synchronously and vsock_pending_work() takes the is_pending=false / !rejected branch, dropping only its own work reference. This also closes the multi-packet race Sashiko reported on v2: pending is removed from the list before any subsequent packet can find it. The pre-existing sk_acceptq_removed() gap on the err < 0 path of vmci_transport_recv_listen() that Sashiko also noted is not introduced or changed by this patch. Tested on lts-6.12.79 with KASAN: 52/100 unpatched -> 0/100 patched.

vsock/virtio: fix MSG_ZEROCOPY pinned-pages accounting

2026-05-23T11:07:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1cb36e252211506f51095fe7ced8286cc77b4c80 ] virtio_transport_init_zcopy_skb() uses iter->count as the size argument for msg_zerocopy_realloc(), which in turn passes it to mm_account_pinned_pages() for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK accounting. However, this function is called after virtio_transport_fill_skb() has already consumed the iterator via __zerocopy_sg_from_iter(), so on the last skb, iter->count will be 0, skipping the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK enforcement. Pass pkt_len (the total bytes being sent) as an explicit parameter to virtio_transport_init_zcopy_skb() instead of reading the already-consumed iter->count. This matches TCP and UDP, which both call msg_zerocopy_realloc() with the original message size.

vsock/virtio: fix accept queue count leak on transport mismatch

2026-05-17T15:15:37+00:00

commit 52bcb57a4e8a0865a76c587c2451906342ae1b2d upstream. virtio_transport_recv_listen() calls sk_acceptq_added() before vsock_assign_transport(). If vsock_assign_transport() fails or selects a different transport, the error path returns without calling sk_acceptq_removed(), permanently incrementing sk_ack_backlog. After approximately backlog+1 such failures, sk_acceptq_is_full() returns true, causing the listener to reject all new connections. Fix by moving sk_acceptq_added() to after the transport validation, matching the pattern used by vmci_transport and hyperv_transport.

vsock/virtio: fix empty payload in tap skb for non-linear buffers

2026-05-17T15:15:37+00:00

commit 3a3e3d90cbc79600544536723911657730759af3 upstream. For non-linear skbs, virtio_transport_build_skb() goes through virtio_transport_copy_nonlinear_skb() to copy the original payload in the new skb to be delivered to the vsockmon tap device. This manually initializes an iov_iter but does not set iov_iter.count. Since the iov_iter is zero-initialized, the copy length is zero and no payload is actually copied to the monitor interface, leaving data un-initialized. Fix this by removing the linear vs non-linear split and using skb_copy_datagram_iter() with iov_iter_kvec() for all cases, as vhost-vsock already does. This handles both linear and non-linear skbs, properly initializes the iov_iter, and removes the now unused virtio_transport_copy_nonlinear_skb(). While touching this code, let's also check the return value of skb_copy_datagram_iter(), even though it's unlikely to fail.

vsock/virtio: fix length and offset in tap skb for split packets

2026-05-17T15:15:37+00:00

commit 5f344d809e015fba3709e5219428c00b8ac5d7df upstream. virtio_transport_build_skb() builds a new skb to be delivered to the vsockmon tap device. To build the new skb, it uses the original skb data length as payload length, but as the comment notes, the original packet stored in the skb may have been split in multiple packets, so we need to use the length in the header, which is correctly updated before the packet is delivered to the tap, and the offset for the data. This was also similar to what we did before commit 71dc9ec9ac7d ("virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff") where we probably missed something during the skb conversion. Also update the comment above, which was left stale by the skb conversion and still mentioned a buffer pointer that no longer exists.

vsock: fix buffer size clamping order

2026-05-17T15:15:37+00:00

commit d114bfdc9b76bf93b881e195b7ec957c14227bab upstream. In vsock_update_buffer_size(), the buffer size was being clamped to the maximum first, and then to the minimum. If a user sets a minimum buffer size larger than the maximum, the minimum check overrides the maximum check, inverting the constraint. This breaks the intended socket memory boundaries by allowing the vsk->buffer_size to grow beyond the configured vsk->buffer_max_size. Fix this by checking the minimum first, and then the maximum. This ensures the buffer size never exceeds the buffer_max_size.
