Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 18:13:19 +0100 From: Antoine Tenart <atenart@...nel.org> To: davem@...emloft.net, kuba@...nel.org Cc: Antoine Tenart <atenart@...nel.org>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, vladbu@...dia.com, pabeni@...hat.com, pshelar@....org, daniel@...earbox.net Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] net: fix a memleak when uncloning an skb dst and its metadata When uncloning an skb dst and its associated metadata, a new dst+metadata is allocated and later replaces the old one in the skb. This is helpful to have a non-shared dst+metadata attached to a specific skb. The issue is the uncloned dst+metadata is initialized with a refcount of 1, which is increased to 2 before attaching it to the skb. When tun_dst_unclone returns, the dst+metadata is only referenced from a single place (the skb) while its refcount is 2. Its refcount will never drop to 0 (when the skb is consumed), leading to a memory leak. Fix this by removing the call to dst_hold in tun_dst_unclone, as the dst+metadata refcount is already 1.
