Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix sk reference counting in ip_push_pending_frames and ip6_push_pending_frames
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2009 17:46:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247334370.7128.6.camel@Maple> (raw)
Commit 2b85a34e911bf483c27cfdd124aeb1605145dc80 "net: No more expensive
sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx" used sk_wmem_alloc rather than the struct sock reference
count to track in-flight transmit-path packets. However, it missed the __sock_put() calls
in ip_push_pending_frames() and ip6_push_pending_frames(). This results in too-small
reference counts when UDP or RAW sockets are used to send more than one MTU of data. This
in turn could lead to struct sock being freed and reused while it is still part of an
active socket.
A wide variety of socket symptoms may be fixed by this patch. It also fixes one cause
of WARN_ON's in sk_del_node_init() and sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu().
