Subject: RFC: sk leak in sock_graft?
Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2017 09:08:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170624130827.GD6901@oracle.com> (raw)
We're seeing a memleak when we run an infinite loop that
loads/unloads rds-tcp, and runs some traffic between each
load/unload.
Analysis shows that this is happening for the following reason:
inet_accept -> sock_graft does
parent->sk = sk
but if the parent->sk was previously pointing at some other
struct sock "old_sk" (happens in the case of rds_tcp_accept_one()
which has historically called sock_create_kern() to set up
the new_sock), we need to sock_put(old_sk), else we'd leak it.
In general, sock_graft() is cutting loose the parent->sk,
so it looks like it needs to release its refcnt on it?
Patch below takes care of the leak in our case, but I could use
some input on other locking considerations, and if this is ok
with other modules that use sock_graft()
