Thanks.

Can you also please provide a summary of the event sequence that
triggers the bug? Based on your Reported-by tag, I guess this is

based

on the syzbot reproducer:

but perhaps you can give a summary of the event sequence that

the bug? Is it that the call:

setsockopt$inet_tcp_TCP_CONGESTION(r0, 0x6, 0xd,
&(0x7f0000000000)='cdg\x00', 0x4)

initializes the CC and happens before the connection is

established,

and then when the connection is established, the line that sets:
   icsk->icsk_ca_initialized = 0;
is incorrect, causing the CC to be initialized again without first
calling the cleanup code that deallocates the CDG-allocated memory?

thanks,

Hi Neal,

The gdb stack trace that lead to init_transfer_input() is as bellow,

the

quoted

current sock state is TCP_SYN_RECV.

Thanks. That makes sense as a snapshot of time for
tcp_init_transfer(), but I think what would be more useful would be a
description of the sequence of events, including when the CC was
initialized previous to that point (as noted above, was it that the
setsockopt(TCP_CONGESTION) completed before that point?).

thanks,
neal

I resend my message because I accidently used html format in last one. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Yes, the CC had been initialized by the setsockopt, after that, it was initialized again in function tcp_init_transfer() because of setting isck_ca_initialized to 0.
Regards, 
Phi.
