Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] af_unix: Fix scm_stat.nr_fds leak in unix_dgram_disconnected().
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:51:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111225148.88506-2-sidchintamaneni@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111225148.88506-1-sidchintamaneni@gmail.com>
When a connected SOCK_DGRAM socket disconnects (e.g. via connect() with
AF_UNSPEC), reconnects to a different peer, or observes a dead peer in
unix_dgram_sendmsg(), unix_dgram_disconnected() purges all unread
datagrams from sk->sk_receive_queue via skb_queue_purge_reason().
Because skb_queue_purge_reason() frees each skb without calling
scm_stat_del(sk, skb), any SCM_RIGHTS file descriptors attached to the
purged skbs remain permanently accounted in u->scm_stat.nr_fds (reported
as scm_fds in /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>) for the remaining lifetime of the
socket.
Move scm_stat_add() and scm_stat_del() above unix_dgram_disconnected(),
splice sk->sk_receive_queue onto a local list under the queue lock, and
call scm_stat_del() before kfree_skb_reason() on each purged skb.
Fixes: 3c32da19a858 ("unix: Show number of pending scm files of receive queue in fdinfo")
