[Patch net v3] tun: fix a memory leak for tfile->tx_array

From: Cong Wang <hidden>
Date: 2018-01-15 19:37:35

tfile->tun could be detached before we close the tun fd,
via tun_detach_all(), so it should not be used to check for
tfile->tx_array.

As Jason suggested, we probably have to clean it up
unconditionally both in __tun_deatch() and tun_detach_all(),
but this requires to check if it is initialized or not.
Currently skb_array_cleanup() doesn't have such a check,
so I check it in the caller and introduce a helper function,
it is a bit ugly but we can always improve it in net-next.

I think then you don't even need the memset trick since we are sure it 
has been implemented?

Thanks

It doesn't look like sk_alloc() zero's the memory of tfile.

Typo, for "implemented" I mean "initialized".

I mean we can leave __tun_detach() as is, and just add the cleanup to 
tun_detach_all(). This is because in both cases, we're sure skb array 
has been initialized before.

Thanks

Oh, I thought the same before sending v3, but I believe it is easier to
understand 'if (tfile->tx_array.ring.queue)' than 'if (tun)', because tx_array
only depends on itself rather tfile->tun in this way.

Maybe just add a comment to explain in __tun_detach(), it avoids 
memset() anyway.

But __tun_detach(true) is not a hot path, a memset() doesn't harm anything.

Yes, but it looks more more like a workaround or trick to me.

I'd blame skb_array API for this. ;) Ideally, skb_array_cleanup()
should take care of everything I put in tun_cleanup_tx_array().
As I mentioned in changelog, we can always improve it in
-net-next, so I don't want to bother it for -net.
