Subject: [PATCH] net: llc: clean up unaccepted child sockets in llc_ui_release()
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 21:36:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919213635.3314344-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
When an `AF_LLC` listening socket (`sk->sk_state == TCP_LISTEN`) accepts
an incoming connection request in `llc_conn_state_process()`, it
allocates a new child `sock` via `llc_sk_alloc()`, holds a `netdev`
reference on `child_llc->dev`, attaches `child` to `child_llc->sap`,
sets `skb->sk = child`, and queues `skb` onto the listener's
`sk->sk_receive_queue` waiting for `llc_ui_accept()`.
If the listening socket is closed without calling `accept()`,
`llc_ui_release()` calls `skb_queue_purge(&sk->sk_receive_queue)` in
`llc_sk_Component` / `llc_sk_free()`, which frees the queued `skb`s
without removing the unaccepted `child` sockets from `child_llc->sap`,
releasing `child_llc->dev`, or freeing `child`. This permanently leaks
the child `sock`, its `llc_sap` reference, and the `net_device`
reference (blocking `unregister_netdevice()`).
In `llc_ui_release()`, drain `sk->sk_receive_queue` when `sk->sk_state
== TCP_LISTEN`, and for each unaccepted child socket, orphan `skb`,
remove `child` from `child_llc->sap`, release `child_llc->dev`, and free
`child` via `llc_sk_free()`.
