[PATCH] virtio_vsock: Fix race condition in virtio_transport_recv_pkt

From: Jia He
Date: Fri May 29 2020 - 09:32:27 EST


When client tries to connect(SOCK_STREAM) the server in the guest with NONBLOCK
mode, there will be a panic on a ThunderX2 (armv8a server):

The race condition as follows:
Task1 Task2
===== =====
__sock_release virtio_transport_recv_pkt
__vsock_release vsock_find_bound_socket (found)
lock_sock_nested
vsock_remove_sock
sock_orphan
sk_set_socket(sk, NULL)
...
release_sock
lock_sock
virtio_transport_recv_connecting
sk->sk_socket->state (panic)

This fixes it by checking vsk again whether it is in bound/connected table.
