Subject: [PATCH v1 net] tcp: Don't call skb_clone_and_charge_r() for close()d listener in tcp_v6_do_rcv().
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 01:14:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914011420.115556-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)

tcp_v6_do_rcv() no longer calls skb_clone_and_charge_r() for
TCP_LISTEN since commit 073d89808c06 ("net: fix data-races around
sk->sk_forward_alloc").

However, there is still a small race window between tcp_v6_rcv()
and tcp_v6_do_rcv(), where concurrent close() changes TCP_LISTEN
to TCP_CLOSE, causing skb_clone_and_charge_r() to be called
locklessly and resulting in the splat below. [0]

Let's avoid calling skb_clone_and_charge_r() for TCP_CLOSE as well.

This is fine for non-listeners because tcp_rcv_state_process()
drops skb for TCP_CLOSE and opt_skb was freed immediately anyway.

sk->sk_forward_alloc
