Subject: [PATCH] chtls: Fix skb reference leak in chtls_send_reset()
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 10:58:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917105846.2147976-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

chtls_send_reset() is given a skb holding one reference, to be sent as
CPL_ABORT_REQ. It consumes that reference on every path except the
TCP_SYN_RECV one: there it sends a TCB field reply built from a freshly
allocated skb and never releases the passed-in one.

This leaks the reference taken by reset_listen_child(), which resets
half-open children in TCP_SYN_RECV found on the SYN queue.

Release the skb on the TCP_SYN_RECV path as well.

Fixes: 8ad2a970d201 ("cxgb4/chtls: Fix tid stuck due to wrong update of qid")
