I've tracked https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=5f1acda7e06a2298fae6 down to the problem which may be illustrated by the following pseudocode: int sock; /* thread 1 */ while (1) { struct msghdr msg = { ... }; sock = socket(AF_SMC, SOCK_STREAM, 0); sendmsg(sock, &msg, MSG_FASTOPEN); close(sock); } /* thread 2 */ while (1) { int on = 1; ioctl(sock, FIOASYNC, &on); on = 0; ioctl(sock, FIOASYNC, &on); } That is, something in thread 1 may cause 'smc_switch_to_fallback()' and swap kernel sockets (of 'struct smc_sock') behind 'sock' between 'ioctl()' calls in thread 2, so this becomes an attempt to add fasync entry to one socket but remove from another one. When 'sock' is closing, '__fput()' calls 'f_op->fasync()' _before_ 'f_op->release()', and it's too late to revert the trick performed by 'smc_switch_to_fallback()' in 'smc_release()' and below. Finally we end up with leaked 'struct fasync_struct' object linked to the base socket, and this object is noticed by '__sock_release()' ("fasync list not empty"). Of course using 'fasync_remove_entry()' in such a way is extremely ugly, but what else we can do without touching generic socket code, '__fput()', etc.? Comments are highly appreciated.
