With two Msgs, msgA and msgB and a user doing nonblocking sendmsg calls (or
multiple cores) on a single socket 'sk' we could get the following flow.
msgA, sk msgB, sk
----------- ---------------
tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
lock(sk)
psock = sk->psock
tcp_bpf_sendmsg()
lock(sk) ... blocking
tcp_bpf_send_verdict
if (psock->eval == NONE)
psock->eval = sk_psock_msg_verdict
..
< handle SK_REDIRECT case >
release_sock(sk) < lock dropped so grab here >
ret = tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir
psock = sk->psock
tcp_bpf_send_verdict
lock_sock(sk) ... blocking on B
if (psock->eval == NONE) <- boom.
psock->eval will have msgA state
The problem here is we dropped the lock on msgA and grabbed it with msgB.
Now we have old state in psock and importantly psock->eval has not been
cleared. So msgB will run whatever action was done on A and the verdict
program may never see it.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
