Jiri Kosina 41f079a0e1 tcp: perform DMA to userspace only if there is a task waiting for it
[ Upstream commit 59ea33a68a ]

Back in 2006, commit 1a2449a87b ("[I/OAT]: TCP recv offload to I/OAT")
added support for receive offloading to IOAT dma engine if available.

The code in tcp_rcv_established() tries to perform early DMA copy if
applicable. It however does so without checking whether the userspace
task is actually expecting the data in the buffer.

This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but there is a corner
case where this doesn't work -- and that's when MSG_TRUNC flag to
recvmsg() is used.

If the IOAT dma engine is not used, the code properly checks whether
there is a valid ucopy.task and the socket is owned by userspace, but
misses the check in the dmaengine case.

This problem can be observed in real trivially -- for example 'tbench' is a
good reproducer, as it makes a heavy use of MSG_TRUNC. On systems utilizing
IOAT, you will soon find tbench waiting indefinitely in sk_wait_data(), as they
have been already early-copied in tcp_rcv_established() using dma engine.

This patch introduces the same check we are performing in the simple
iovec copy case to the IOAT case as well. It fixes the indefinite
recvmsg(MSG_TRUNC) hangs.
