Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] net/rds: fix rds_message leak in the rds_send_xmit() drop path
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:51:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260711025118.2449428-4-achender@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260711025118.2449428-1-achender@kernel.org>
From: Sharath Srinivasan <sharath.srinivasan@oracle.com>
When rds_send_xmit() picks the next message off cp_send_queue it takes
its own reference with rds_message_addref(). If the message then hits
the never-retransmit check (RDS_MSG_FLUSH, or an RDMA op that was
already retransmitted), it is moved to the local to_be_dropped list and
that reference is dropped after the batch.
However, if RDS_MSG_ON_CONN has already been cleared - e.g. a racing
rds_send_drop_to() or rds_send_path_reset() took the message off the
connection lists - the message is not added to to_be_dropped and the
reference taken above is never dropped: cp_xmit_rm has not been set at
this point, so the loop simply abandons rm and the rds_message (and
everything it pins: pages, MRs, notifiers) leaks after an RDMA error.
Drop the reference directly in that case.
This mirrors Oracle UEK commit "net/rds: fix rds_message memleak in
rds_send_xmit".
Fixes: 2ad8099b58f2 ("RDS: rds_send_xmit() locking/irq fixes")
