It is possible to trigger a use-after-free by:
  * attaching an fentry probe to __sock_release() and the probe calling the
    bpf_get_socket_cookie() helper
  * running traceroute -I 1.1.1.1 on a freshly booted VM

A KASAN enabled kernel will log something like below (decoded and stripped):

Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel
invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument.
This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being
able to pass back more information.

No functional changes in this patch.

<title>net: add sk_wake_async_rcu() helper</title>

<id>1abe267f173eae7ae76cf56232292e9641eb652f</id>
<content type='text'>
While looking at UDP receive performance, I saw sk_wake_async()
was no longer inlined.

This matters at least on AMD Zen1-4 platforms (see SRSO)

This might be because rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
are no longer nops in recent kernels ?

Add sk_wake_async_rcu() variant, which must be called from
contexts already holding rcu lock.

As SOCK_FASYNC is deprecated in modern days, use unlikely()
to give a hint to the compiler.

sk_wake_async_rcu() is properly inlined from
__udp_enqueue_schedule_skb() and sock_def_readable().

sk-&gt;sk_rcvbuf in __sock_queue_rcv_skb() and __sk_receive_skb() can be
changed by other threads. Mark this as benign using READ_ONCE().

This patch is aimed at reducing the number of benign races reported by

While testing for places where zero-sized destinations were still showing
up in the kernel, sock_copy() and inet_reqsk_clone() were found, which
are using very specific memcpy() offsets for both avoiding a portion of
struct sock, and copying beyond the end of it (since struct sock is really
just a common header before the protocol-specific allocation). Instead
of trying to unravel this historical lack of container_of(), just switch
to unsafe_memcpy(), since that's effectively what was happening already
(memcpy() wasn't checking 0-sized destinations while the code base was
being converted away from fake flexible arrays).

Avoid the following false positive warning with future changes to
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

  memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 3068) of destination "&amp;nsk-&gt;__sk_common.skc_dontcopy_end" at net/core/sock.c:2057 (size 0)

<title>net: make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds /proc/sys/net/core/mem_pcpu_rsv sysctl file,
to make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable.

Commit 3cd3399dd7a8 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for
memory_allocated") introduced per-cpu forward alloc cache:

"Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number
of changes to sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;memory_allocated, which
would otherwise be cause of false sharing."

sk_prot-&gt;memory_allocated points to global atomic variable:
atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB,
changes to sk-&gt;sk_prot-&gt;memory_allocated can be further reduced.
Performance may be improved on system with many cores.
