    Subject[ 093/109] tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it
    Date
    From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

    3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------


    From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

    [ Upstream commit 59ea33a68a9083ac98515e4861c00e71efdc49a1 ]

    Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
    added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.

    The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
    applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
    task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.

    This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
    case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
    recvmsg() is used.

    If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
    there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
    misses the check in the dmaengine case.

    This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
    good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
    IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
    have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.

    This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
    iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
    recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.
