Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] rxrpc: Fix key reference count leak from call->key
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:01:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319150150.4189381-6-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319150150.4189381-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

From: Anderson Nascimento <anderson@allelesecurity.com>

When creating a client call in rxrpc_alloc_client_call(), the code obtains
a reference to the key.  This is never cleaned up and gets leaked when the
call is destroyed.

Fix this by freeing call->key in rxrpc_destroy_call().

Before the patch, it shows the key reference counter elevated:

$ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321
1bffe9cd I--Q--i 8053480 4169w 3b010000  1000  1000 rxrpc     afs@54321: ka
$

After the patch, the invalidated key is removed when the code exits:

$ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321
$

Fixes: f3441d4125fc ("rxrpc: Copy client call parameters into rxrpc_call earlier")
