I don't agree with that. Please have a look at commit e21dba7a4df4 ("net/x25: fix nonblocking connect). But I also think you are right and there seems to be a refcnt leak, which should be fixed by a call to x25_neigh_put() in the x25_disconnect() function. - Martin > > Signed-off-by: Xiyu Yang > Signed-off-by: Xin Tan > --- > net/x25/af_x25.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/net/x25/af_x25.c b/net/x25/af_x25.c > index d5b09bbff375..e6571c56209b 100644 > --- a/net/x25/af_x25.c > +++ b/net/x25/af_x25.c > @@ -816,7 +816,7 @@ static int x25_connect(struct socket *sock, struct > sockaddr *uaddr, > /* Now the loop */ > rc = -EINPROGRESS; > if (sk->sk_state != TCP_ESTABLISHED && (flags & O_NONBLOCK)) > - goto out; > + goto out_put_neigh; > > rc = x25_wait_for_connection_establishment(sk); > if (rc)
