Subject: [PATCH mptcp-next 1/2] Squash to "mptcp: pm: init and release mptcp_pm_ops"
Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 14:14:23 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260620084424.3072634-2-shardul.b@mpiricsoftware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260620084424.3072634-1-shardul.b@mpiricsoftware.com>

The userspace local address list is freed from the userspace path
manager .release callback (via mptcp_pm_ops_release()), i.e. only when
the socket currently uses the userspace PM. A socket that used the
userspace PM can be reused via mptcp_disconnect() and re-selected to a
different path manager; an entry appended late would then not be freed by
the next teardown running a non-userspace PM, and leaks.

Free msk->pm.userspace_pm_local_addr_list unconditionally in
mptcp_pm_destroy() and drop the now-redundant userspace .release. The
list is initialised in the generic mptcp_pm_data_init(), so freeing it
from the generic teardown is consistent; it is empty for a kernel-PM
socket, so this is a no-op there.
