When client on the host tries to connect(SOCK_STREAM, O_NONBLOCK) to the
server on the guest, there will be a panic on a ThunderX2 (armv8a server):

The race condition is as follows:
Task1                                Task2
=====                                =====

                                         sk-&gt;sk_socket-&gt;state (panic!)

The root cause is that vsock_find_bound_socket can't hold the lock_sock,
so there is a small race window between vsock_find_bound_socket() and
lock_sock(). If __vsock_release() is running in another task,
sk-&gt;sk_socket will be set to NULL inadvertently.

This fixes it by checking sk-&gt;sk_shutdown(suggested by Stefano) after
lock_sock since sk-&gt;sk_shutdown is set to SHUTDOWN_MASK under the
protection of lock_sock_nested.

The accept(2) is an "input" socket interface, so we should use
SO_RCVTIMEO instead of SO_SNDTIMEO to set the timeout.

So this patch replace sock_sndtimeo() with sock_rcvtimeo() to
use the right timeout in the vsock_accept().

<title>vsock/virtio: fix multiple packet delivery to monitoring devices</title>

In virtio_transport.c, if the virtqueue is full, the transmitting
packet is queued up and it will be sent in the next iteration.
This causes the same packet to be delivered multiple times to
monitoring devices.

We want to continue to deliver packets to monitoring devices before
it is put in the virtqueue, to avoid that replies can appear in the
packet capture before the transmitted packet.

This patch fixes the issue, adding a new flag (tap_delivered) in
struct virtio_vsock_pkt, to check if the packet is already delivered
to monitoring devices.

In vhost/vsock.c, we are splitting packets, so we must set
'tap_delivered' to false when we queue up the same virtio_vsock_pkt
to handle the remaining bytes.

.release() callback.

the socket was previously assigned to another transport, the
vsk-&gt;transport-&gt;release() is called, but the sock lock is already
held in the vsock_stream_connect(), causing a deadlock reported by

Whenever the vsock backend on the host sends a packet through the RX
queue, it expects an answer on the TX queue. Unfortunately, there is one
case where the host side will hang waiting for the answer and might
effectively never recover if no timeout mechanism was implemented.

This issue happens when the guest side starts binding to the socket,
which insert a new bound socket into the list of already bound sockets.
At this time, we expect the guest to also start listening, which will
trigger the sk_state to move from TCP_CLOSE to TCP_LISTEN. The problem
occurs if the host side queued a RX packet and triggered an interrupt
right between the end of the binding process and the beginning of the
listening process. In this specific case, the function processing the
packet virtio_transport_recv_pkt() will find a bound socket, which means
it will hit the switch statement checking for the sk_state, but the
state won't be changed into TCP_LISTEN yet, which leads the code to pick
the default statement. This default statement will only free the buffer,
while it should also respond to the host side, by sending a packet on
its TX queue.

In order to simply fix this unfortunate chain of events, it is important
that in case the default statement is entered, and because at this stage
we know the host side is waiting for an answer, we must send back a
packet containing the operation VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RST.

One could say that a proper timeout mechanism on the host side will be
enough to avoid the backend to hang. But the point of this patch is to
ensure the normal use case will be provided with proper responsiveness
when it comes to establishing the connection.

Whenever the vsock backend on the host sends a packet through the RX
queue, it expects an answer on the TX queue. Unfortunately, there is one
case where the host side will hang waiting for the answer and might
effectively never recover if no timeout mechanism was implemented.

This issue happens when the guest side starts binding to the socket,
which insert a new bound socket into the list of already bound sockets.
At this time, we expect the guest to also start listening, which will
trigger the sk_state to move from TCP_CLOSE to TCP_LISTEN. The problem
occurs if the host side queued a RX packet and triggered an interrupt
right between the end of the binding process and the beginning of the
listening process. In this specific case, the function processing the
packet virtio_transport_recv_pkt() will find a bound socket, which means
it will hit the switch statement checking for the sk_state, but the
state won't be changed into TCP_LISTEN yet, which leads the code to pick
the default statement. This default statement will only free the buffer,
while it should also respond to the host side, by sending a packet on
its TX queue.

In order to simply fix this unfortunate chain of events, it is important
that in case the default statement is entered, and because at this stage
we know the host side is waiting for an answer, we must send back a
packet containing the operation VIRTIO_VSOCK_OP_RST.

One could say that a proper timeout mechanism on the host side will be
enough to avoid the backend to hang. But the point of this patch is to
ensure the normal use case will be provided with proper responsiveness
when it comes to establishing the connection.

<title>hv_sock: Remove the accept port restriction</title>

Currently, hv_sock restricts the port the guest socket can accept
connections on. hv_sock divides the socket port namespace into two parts
for server side (listening socket), 0-0x7FFFFFFF &amp; 0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF
(there are no restrictions on client port namespace). The first part
(0-0x7FFFFFFF) is reserved for sockets where connections can be accepted.
The second part (0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF) is reserved for allocating ports
for the peer (host) socket, once a connection is accepted.
This reservation of the port namespace is specific to hv_sock and not
known by the generic vsock library (ex: af_vsock). This is problematic
because auto-binds/ephemeral ports are handled by the generic vsock
library and it has no knowledge of this port reservation and could
allocate a port that is not compatible with hv_sock (and legitimately so).
The issue hasn't surfaced so far because the auto-bind code of vsock
(__vsock_bind_stream) prior to the change 'VSOCK: bind to random port for
VMADDR_PORT_ANY' would start walking up from LAST_RESERVED_PORT (1023) and
start assigning ports. That will take a large number of iterations to hit
0x7FFFFFFF. But, after the above change to randomize port selection, the
issue has started coming up more frequently.
There has really been no good reason to have this port reservation logic
in hv_sock from the get go. Reserving a local port for peer ports is not
how things are handled generally. Peer ports should reflect the peer port.
This fixes the issue by lifting the port reservation, and also returns the
right peer port. Since the code converts the GUID to the peer port (by
using the first 4 bytes), there is a possibility of conflicts, but that
seems like a reasonable risk to take, given this is limited to vsock and
that only applies to all local sockets.

virtio_transport_get_ops() and virtio_transport_send_pkt_info()
can only be used on connecting/connected sockets, since a socket
assigned to a transport is required.

This patch adds a WARN_ON() on virtio_transport_get_ops() to check
this requirement, a comment and a returned error on
virtio_transport_send_pkt_info(),
