The ubufs->refcount maybe be subtracted twice when tun_get_user failed

From: wangyunjian <hidden>

In function tun_get_user , the ubufs->refcount may be subtracted twice, when msg_control is true and zerocopy is false.

About the below code:

static ssize_t tun_get_user(struct tun_struct *tun, struct tun_file *tfile,
                                void *msg_control, struct iov_iter *from,
                                int noblock)
{
         ...

         if (zerocopy)
                   err = zerocopy_sg_from_iter(skb, from);
         else {
                   err = skb_copy_datagram_from_iter(skb, 0, from, len);
                   if (!err && msg_control) {
                            struct ubuf_info *uarg = msg_control;
                            uarg->callback(uarg, false);                       --> the ubufs->refcount is subtracted frist.
                   }
         }

         if (err) {
                   this_cpu_inc(tun->pcpu_stats->rx_dropped);
                   kfree_skb(skb);
                   return -EFAULT;

Just make sure I understand the problem. Since we don't set 
SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY here if zerocopy is false, callback won't be even 
trigged in skb_release_data(). So we are in fact safe here?

Thanks

Sorry, I didn't describe it clearly. In fact, the second subtraction happens in the function handle_tx,
when tun_get_user fails and zcopy_used is ture. Fllowing the steps:

           ...

           if (zerocopy)
                     err = zerocopy_sg_from_iter(skb, from);
           else {
                     err = skb_copy_datagram_from_iter(skb, 0, from, len);
                     if (!err && msg_control) {
                              struct ubuf_info *uarg = msg_control;
                              uarg->callback(uarg, false);                       --> step 1, the ubufs->refcount is subtracted frist.
                     }
           }
