mainlining shenanigans

If there is no TCP_LISTEN socket on a ephemeral port, we can bind multiple
sockets having SO_REUSEADDR to the same port. Then if all sockets bound to
the port have also SO_REUSEPORT enabled and have the same EUID, all of them
can be listened. This is not safe.
Let's say, an application has root privilege and binds sockets to an
ephemeral port with both of SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT. When none of
sockets is not listened yet, a malicious user can use sudo, exhaust
ephemeral ports, and bind sockets to the same ephemeral port, so he or she
can call listen and steal the port.
To prevent this issue, we must not bind more than one sockets that have the
same EUID and both of SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT.
On the other hand, if the sockets have different EUIDs, the issue above does
not occur. After sockets with different EUIDs are bound to the same port and
one of them is listened, no more socket can be listened. This is because the
condition below is evaluated true and listen() for the second socket fails.
} else if (!reuseport_ok ||
!reuseport || !sk2->sk_reuseport ||
rcu_access_pointer(sk->sk_reuseport_cb) ||
(sk2->sk_state != TCP_TIME_WAIT &&
!uid_eq(uid, sock_i_uid(sk2)))) {
if (inet_rcv_saddr_equal(sk, sk2, true))
break;
}
Therefore, on the same port, we cannot do listen() for multiple sockets with
different EUIDs and any other listen syscalls fail, so the problem does not
happen. In this case, we can still call connect() for other sockets that
cannot be listened, so we have to succeed to call bind() in order to fully
utilize 4-tuples.
Summarizing the above, we should be able to bind only one socket having
SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT per EUID.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
