H A Dtcp_bpf.ccd9733f5 Tue Oct 12 00:20:19 CDT 2021 Liu Jian <liujian56@huawei.com> tcp_bpf: Fix one concurrency problem in the tcp_bpf_send_verdict function

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.
