Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] af_unix: Fix memory leak in unix_dgram_sendmsg()
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 10:14:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250225021457.1824-1-ahuang12@lenovo.com> (raw)
From: Adrian Huang <ahuang12@lenovo.com>
After running the 'sendmsg02' program of Linux Test Project (LTP),
kmemleak reports the following memory leak:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffff888243866800 (size 2048):
comm "sendmsg02", pid 67, jiffies 4294903166
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Commit 689c398885cc ("af_unix: Defer sock_put() to clean up path in
unix_dgram_sendmsg().") defers sock_put() in the error handling path.
However, it fails to account for the condition 'msg->msg_namelen != 0',
resulting in a memory leak when the code jumps to the 'lookup' label.
Fix issue by calling sock_put() if 'msg->msg_namelen != 0' is met.
Fixes: 689c398885cc ("af_unix: Defer sock_put() to clean up path in unix_dgram_sendmsg().")
