[PATCH net v2 2/2] can: fix ref count warning if socket was closed before skb was cloned

From: Oleksij Rempel
Date: Tue Feb 23 2021 - 00:56:10 EST


There are two ref count variables controlling the free()ing of a socket:
- struct sock::sk_refcnt - which is changed by sock_hold()/sock_put()
- struct sock::sk_wmem_alloc - which accounts the memory allocated by
the skbs in the send path.

If the socket is closed the struct sock::sk_refcnt will finally reach 0
and sk_free() is called. Which then calls
refcount_dec_and_test(&sk->sk_wmem_alloc). If sk_wmem_alloc reaches 0
the socket is actually free()ed.

In case there are still TX skbs on the fly and the socket() is closed,
the struct sock::sk_refcnt reaches 0. In the TX-path the CAN stack
clones an "echo" skb, calls sock_hold() on the original socket and
references it. This produces the following back trace:

To fix this problem, we have to take into account, that the socket
technically still there but should not used (by any new skbs) any more.
The function skb_clone_sk_optional() (introduced in the previous patch)
takes care of this. It will only clone the skb, if the sk is set and the
refcount has not reached 0.
