UPSTREAM: af_unix: Fix up unix_edge.successor for embryo socket.

commit dcf70df2048d27c5d186f013f101a4aefd63aa41 upstream.

To garbage collect inflight AF_UNIX sockets, we must define the
cyclic reference appropriately.  This is a bit tricky if the loop
consists of embryo sockets.

Suppose that the fd of AF_UNIX socket A is passed to D and the fd B
to C and that C and D are embryo sockets of A and B, respectively.
It may appear that there are two separate graphs, A (-> D) and
B (-> C), but this is not correct.

     A --. .-- B
          X
     C <-' `-> D

Now, D holds A's refcount, and C has B's refcount, so unix_release()
will never be called for A and B when we close() them.  However, no
one can call close() for D and C to free skbs holding refcounts of A
and B because C/D is in A/B's receive queue, which should have been
purged by unix_release() for A and B.

So, here's another type of cyclic reference.  When a fd of an AF_UNIX
socket is passed to an embryo socket, the reference is indirectly held
by its parent listening socket.

  .-> A                            .-> B
  |   `- sk_receive_queue          |   `- sk_receive_queue
  |      `- skb                    |      `- skb
  |         `- sk == C             |         `- sk == D
  |            `- sk_receive_queue |           `- sk_receive_queue
  |               `- skb +---------'               `- skb +-.
  |                                                         |
  `---------------------------------------------------------'

Technically, the graph must be denoted as A <-> B instead of A (-> D)
and B (-> C) to find such a cyclic reference without touching each
socket's receive queue.

  .-> A --. .-- B <-.
  |        X        |  ==  A <-> B
  `-- C <-' `-> D --'

We apply this fixup during GC by fetching the real successor by
unix_edge_successor().

When we call accept(), we clear unix_sock.listener under unix_gc_lock
not to confuse GC.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.

  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with [email protected]. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass scripts/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

  • then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
        BACKPORT: important patch from upstream

Requirements for other backports: FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:,

  • If the patch has been merged into an upstream maintainer tree, but has not yet been merged into Linux mainline
    • tag the patch subject with FROMGIT:
    • add info on where the patch came from as (cherry picked from commit <sha1> <repo> <branch>). This must be a stable maintainer branch (not rebased, so don't use linux-next for example).
    • if changes were required, use BACKPORT: FROMGIT:
    • Example:
      • if the commit message in the maintainer tree is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch
