Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v6 1/3] bpf, sockmap: Fix incorrect copied_seq calculation

From: Jiayuan Chen <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 23:00:30 +0800

A socket using sockmap has its own independent receive queue: ingress_msg.
This queue may contain data from its own protocol stack or from other
sockets.

The issue is that when reading from ingress_msg, we update tp->copied_seq
by default. However, if the data is not from its own protocol stack,
tcp->rcv_nxt is not increased. Later, if we convert this socket to a
native socket, reading from this socket may fail because copied_seq might
be significantly larger than rcv_nxt.

This fix also addresses the syzkaller-reported bug referenced in the
Closes tag.

This patch marks the skmsg objects in ingress_msg. When reading, we update
copied_seq only if the data is from its own protocol stack.

                                                     FD1:read()
                                                     --  FD1->copied_seq++
                                                         |  [read data]
                                                         |
                                [enqueue data]           v
                  [sockmap]     -> ingress to self ->  ingress_msg queue

                                       |                  |
                                       |             ingress to FD1
                                       v                  ^
                                      ...                 |  [sockmap]
                                                     FD2 native stack
