tcp_bpf_recvmsg() invokes sk_psock_get(), which returns a reference of the specified sk_psock object to "psock" with increased refcnt. When tcp_bpf_recvmsg() returns, local variable "psock" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in several exception handling paths of tcp_bpf_recvmsg(). When those error scenarios occur such as "flags" includes MSG_ERRQUEUE, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by sk_psock_get(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling sk_psock_put() when those error scenarios occur.
