Summary
tcp: Skip cond_resched() in inet_csk_listen_stop() under BPF context
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: Skip cond_resched() in inet_csk_listen_stop() under BPF context

bpf_sock_destroy() runs from the tcp iterator, under rcu_read_lock(). If the sock is a listener that still has children in its accept queue, tcp_abort() ends up in inet_csk_listen_stop() and the cond_resched() there trips the debug check:

The commit that added the kfunc already guards lock_sock() in tcp_abort() and udp_abort() with has_current_bpf_ctx(), but missed the listener path. Do the same for the cond_resched(). The loop runs inside the iterator's rcu_read_lock(), it must not reschedule or report a quiescent state there.
