Shardul Bankar 9e95b1a94c udp: remove a disconnected socket from the 4-tuple hash table
A UDP socket bound to a specific address and port keeps its entry in the
4-tuple hash table after it is disconnected:

    sk binds to 127.0.0.1:21001
    sk connects to 127.0.0.2:20001	// filed in the 4-tuple table
    sk disconnects, connect(AF_UNSPEC)	// still filed, peer now 0.0.0.0:0

__udp_disconnect() takes a socket out of that table only as a side effect
of ->rehash() or ->unhash(), and it skips ->rehash() when
SOCK_BINDADDR_LOCK is set and ->unhash() when SOCK_BINDPORT_LOCK is set.
commit 6996a2d2d0 ("udp: Unhash auto-bound connected sk from 4-tuple hash
table when disconnected.") fixed the same end state for a wildcard-bound
socket, by a path this one does not take.

The entry is counted whether or not anything hits it. hash4_cnt on the
hash2 slot stays raised for as long as the socket lives, so udp_has_hash4()
keeps sending every packet for that address and port through the 4-tuple
lookup first.

On IPv6 it can also be hit. __udp_disconnect() does not clear sk_v6_daddr,
so udp_v6_rehash() files the entry under the peer the socket was connected
to with a zero dport, and inet6_match() compares that same
field: a datagram from the former peer with a zero source port matches,
and source port zero is accepted on receive. On IPv4 the peer is cleared,
so a match would need a zero source address as well, which the routing
layer rejects as martian. The stale sk_v6_daddr is a separate defect, not
addressed here; removing the entry closes this path either way.

The entry can also be relocated. __udp_disconnect() clears sk_bound_dev_if,
so a subsequent SO_BINDTODEVICE calls ->rehash(), and because the receive
address is still specific udp_lib_rehash() moves the entry instead of
removing it, into the bucket that (rcv_saddr, num, 0, 0) hashes to -- a
pure function of the address and port, so every socket reaching this state
on one address and port collects in one bucket. The bucket cannot be chosen
from outside, as udp_ehashfn() is seeded with a per-boot secret. This last
one became reachable only with commit 644f9108f3 ("udp: Make rehash4
independent in udp_lib_rehash()"), which moved the hash4 handling out of a
branch a disconnected socket does not take; the stale entry itself dates
from the commit in Fixes.

Take the socket out of the table before __udp_disconnect() runs, while it
still matches how it was filed. This also reaches the wildcard case ahead
of udp_lib_rehash()'s udp_unhash4() branch, leaving that branch unreachable
from udp_disconnect(); removing it belongs in net-next. udp_disconnect()
and udp_abort() are the only UDP entries into __udp_disconnect(), which is
shared with raw, ping and l2tp sockets that are not struct udp_sock:
ping_prot.obj_size is sizeof(struct inet_sock), so udp_hashed4() on one
would read past the allocation.

Fixes: 78c91ae2c6 ("ipv4/udp: Add 4-tuple hash for connected socket")
