Stefano Garzarella 42df95e5ea vsock: avoid timeout during connect() if the socket is closing
[ Upstream commit fccd2b711d9628c7ce0111d5e4938652101ee30a ]

When a peer attempts to establish a connection, vsock_connect() contains
a loop that waits for the state to be TCP_ESTABLISHED. However, the
other peer can be fast enough to accept the connection and close it
immediately, thus moving the state to TCP_CLOSING.

When this happens, the peer in the vsock_connect() is properly woken up,
but since the state is not TCP_ESTABLISHED, it goes back to sleep
until the timeout expires, returning -ETIMEDOUT.

If the socket state is TCP_CLOSING, waiting for the timeout is pointless.
vsock_connect() can return immediately without errors or delay since the
connection actually happened. The socket will be in a closing state,
but this is not an issue, and subsequent calls will fail as expected.

We discovered this issue while developing a test that accepts and
immediately closes connections to stress the transport switch between
two connect() calls, where the first one was interrupted by a signal
(see Closes link).

README

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.
