Now sctp increases sk_wmem_alloc by 1 when doing set_owner_w for the skb allocked in sctp_packet_transmit and decreases by 1 when freeing this skb. But when this skb goes through networking stack, some subcomponents might change skb->truesize and add the same amount on sk_wmem_alloc. However sctp doesn't know the amount to decrease by, it would cause a leak on sk->sk_wmem_alloc and the sock can never be freed. Xiumei found this issue when it hit esp_output_head() by using sctp over ipsec, where skb->truesize is added and so is sk->sk_wmem_alloc. Since sctp has used sk_wmem_queued to count for writable space since Commit cd305c74b0f8 ("sctp: use sk_wmem_queued to check for writable space"), it's ok to fix it by counting sk_wmem_alloc by skb truesize in sctp_packet_transmit. Fixes: cac2661c53f3 ("esp4: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible") Reported-by: Xiumei Mu <redacted> Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com>Applied and queued up for -stable.Dave, is there a way that we can check to which versions you queued it up?
I queued up the patch is, and then do backports as needed. If you think it's too complex to backport this, I'll toss it from the -stable queue and that's what I have just done.
