Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] net-shapers: don't free reply skb after genlmsg_reply()
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 17:35:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309173450.538026-2-p@1g4.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309173450.538026-1-p@1g4.org>
genlmsg_reply() hands the reply skb to netlink, and
netlink_unicast() consumes it on all return paths, whether the
skb is queued successfully or freed on an error path.
net_shaper_nl_get_doit() and net_shaper_nl_cap_get_doit()
currently jump to free_msg after genlmsg_reply() fails and call
nlmsg_free(msg), which can hit the same skb twice.
Return the genlmsg_reply() error directly and keep free_msg
only for pre-reply failures.
Fixes: 4b623f9f0f59 ("net-shapers: implement NL get operation")
Fixes: 553ea9f1efd6 ("net: shaper: implement introspection support")
