[PATCH net 04/11] mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR rtx: always decrease sk refcount

From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" <matttbe@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-05-05 15:01:36
Also in: lkml, mptcp, stable
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [mptcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Matthieu Baerts, Mat Martineau, Linus Torvalds

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")
