From: Tommi Rantala tommi.t.rantala@nokia.com
[ Upstream commit 4a31a6b19f9ddf498c81f5c9b089742b7472a6f8 ]
Fix dst reference count leak in sctp_v4_get_dst() introduced in commit 410f03831 ("sctp: add routing output fallback"):
When walking the address_list, successive ip_route_output_key() calls may return the same rt->dst with the reference incremented on each call.
The code would not decrement the dst refcount when the dst pointer was identical from the previous iteration, causing the dst refcnt leak.
Testcase: ip netns add TEST ip netns exec TEST ip link set lo up ip link add dummy0 type dummy ip link add dummy1 type dummy ip link add dummy2 type dummy ip link set dev dummy0 netns TEST ip link set dev dummy1 netns TEST ip link set dev dummy2 netns TEST ip netns exec TEST ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev dummy0 ip netns exec TEST ip link set dummy0 up ip netns exec TEST ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev dummy1 ip netns exec TEST ip link set dummy1 up ip netns exec TEST ip addr add 192.168.1.3/24 dev dummy2 ip netns exec TEST ip link set dummy2 up ip netns exec TEST sctp_test -H 192.168.1.2 -P 20002 -h 192.168.1.1 -p 20000 -s -B 192.168.1.3 ip netns del TEST
In 4.4 and 4.9 kernels this results to: [ 354.179591] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1 [ 364.419674] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.
