Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xfrm6: call kfree_skb when skb is toobig
Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2018 09:58:16 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180830125817.4567-1-cascardo@canonical.com> (raw)

After commit d6990976af7c5d8f55903bfb4289b6fb030bf754 ("vti6: fix PMTU caching
and reporting on xmit"), some too big skbs might be potentially passed down to
__xfrm6_output, causing it to fail to transmit but not free the skb, causing a
leak of skb, and consequentially a leak of dst references.

After running pmtu.sh, that shows as failure to unregister devices in a namespace:

[  311.397671] unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth_b to become free. Usage count = 1

The fix is to call kfree_skb in case of transmit failures.
