The\nfallback can select a non-listening socket without checking whether the\npacket came from its stored peer.\n\nThis was reproduced with two VMCI contexts. A RST from the context not\nstored in a TCP_SYN_SENT socket reset that socket after it was selected by\nthe destination-only lookup.\n\nVMCI can process notification packets in bottom-half context when the\nsocket is not owned by user context, or defer packets to a workqueue. Use\nvsock_check_source() after taking the socket lock in the bottom-half path,\nand recheck after lock_sock() in the workqueue path. Listening sockets\ncontinue to accept packets from any source.\n\nReply with a RST addressed from the received packet before dropping a\nsource that fails validation. This preserves the existing reset behavior\nfor bound non-listening and concurrently closed sockets without directing\nthe reset to a connected socket's stored peer."
