Subject: [PATCH] selftests/net: ovpn: fix socket leak in ovpn_socket() error paths
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 14:48:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807064816.53811-1-fffsqian@163.com> (raw)
From: Qingshuang Fu <fuqingshuang@kylinos.cn>
The ovpn_socket() function creates a socket but fails to close it on
several error paths, leading to a file descriptor leak:
1. When the address family is neither AF_INET nor AF_INET6, the socket
is leaked in the switch default case.
2. When setsockopt() for SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT, or SO_MARK fails,
the socket is leaked.
3. When setsockopt() for IPV6_V6ONLY fails, the socket is leaked.
The existing err_socket label already handles closing the socket for
the bind() failure path. Fix all other error paths to use goto
err_socket instead of returning directly, ensuring the socket is
properly closed on every error path.
Fixes: 959bc330a439 ("testing/selftests: add test tool and scripts for ovpn module")
