Subject: [PATCH v1 net] net: Fix memory_allocated leak in __sk_mem_raise_allocated().
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 21:29:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105212905.3122712-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
__sk_mem_raise_allocated() calls sk_memory_allocated_add() and
reuses the return value to check if it was called.
However, sk_memory_allocated_{add,sub}() cache a value in per-cpu
counter, sk->sk_prot->per_cpu_fw_alloc, up to sysctl_mem_pcpu_rsv
before reflecting it to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated.
Thus, sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated could have a negative value,
and proto_memory_allocated() returns 0 in such a case.
Then, if mem_cgroup_sk_charge() succeeds, sk_prot_mem_limits()
checks are bypassed, and if mem_cgroup_sk_charge() fails,
sk_memory_allocated_sub() is not called, leaking counters.
Let's use sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem instead of allocated.
Fixes: 7c268eaeec63 ("net: Allow opt-out from global protocol memory accounting.")

Found this while converting sk_memcg to obj_cgroup.
