Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 3/4] mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR rtx: always decrease sk refcount
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 05:19:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521031906.740857-9-matttbe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521031906.740857-6-matttbe@kernel.org>

commit 9634cb35af17019baec21ca648516ce376fa10e6 upstream.

When an ADD_ADDR is retransmitted, the sk is held in sk_reset_timer().
It should then be released in all cases at the end.

Some (unlikely) checks were returning directly instead of calling
sock_put() to decrease the refcount. Jump to a new 'exit' label to call
__sock_put() (which will become sock_put() in the next commit) to fix
this potential leak.

While at it, drop the '!msk' check which cannot happen because it is
never reset, and explicitly mark the remaining one as "unlikely".

Fixes: 00cfd77b9063 ("mptcp: retransmit ADD_ADDR when timeout")
