Hello, While testing my TC filter patches (so not related to conntrack), the following memory leaks are shown up: unreferenced object 0xffff9b19ba551228 (size 128): comm "chronyd", pid 338, jiffies 4294910829 (age 53.188s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 00 00 00 00 18 00 00 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .......0........ backtrace: [<ffffffff9f1e1175>] create_object+0x169/0x2aa [<ffffffff9fb77fb2>] kmemleak_alloc+0x25/0x41 [<ffffffff9f1c47ed>] slab_post_alloc_hook+0x44/0x65 [<ffffffff9f1ca2db>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0x113/0x146 [<ffffffff9f193c3b>] __krealloc+0x4a/0x69 [<ffffffff9f948dbd>] nf_ct_ext_add+0xe1/0x145 [<ffffffff9f942395>] init_conntrack+0x1f7/0x36e [<ffffffff9f942762>] nf_conntrack_in+0x1d3/0x326 [<ffffffff9fa1ea69>] ipv4_conntrack_local+0x4d/0x50 [<ffffffff9f93ad70>] nf_hook_slow+0x3c/0x9b [<ffffffff9f9c7999>] nf_hook.constprop.40+0xbe/0xd8 [<ffffffff9f9c7ba2>] __ip_local_out+0xb3/0xbf [<ffffffff9f9c7bca>] ip_local_out+0x1c/0x36 [<ffffffff9f9c9216>] ip_send_skb+0x19/0x3d [<ffffffff9f9ee3de>] udp_send_skb+0x17e/0x1df [<ffffffff9f9eea37>] udp_sendmsg+0x5a2/0x77c unreferenced object 0xffff9b19a69b3340 (size 336): comm "chronyd", pid 338, jiffies 4294910868 (age 53.032s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 5a 5a 5a 5a 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de ....ZZZZ.....N.. ff ff ff ff 5a 5a 5a 5a ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....ZZZZ........ backtrace: [<ffffffff9f1e1175>] create_object+0x169/0x2aa [<ffffffff9fb77fb2>] kmemleak_alloc+0x25/0x41 [<ffffffff9f1c47ed>] slab_post_alloc_hook+0x44/0x65 [<ffffffff9f1c7a7d>] kmem_cache_alloc+0xd7/0x1f1 [<ffffffff9f941b78>] __nf_conntrack_alloc+0xa2/0x146 [<ffffffff9f942250>] init_conntrack+0xb2/0x36e [<ffffffff9f942762>] nf_conntrack_in+0x1d3/0x326 [<ffffffff9fa1ea69>] ipv4_conntrack_local+0x4d/0x50 [<ffffffff9f93ad70>] nf_hook_slow+0x3c/0x9b [<ffffffff9f9c7999>] nf_hook.constprop.40+0xbe/0xd8 [<ffffffff9f9c7ba2>] __ip_local_out+0xb3/0xbf [<ffffffff9f9c7bca>] ip_local_out+0x1c/0x36 [<ffffffff9f9c9216>] ip_send_skb+0x19/0x3d [<ffffffff9f9ee3de>] udp_send_skb+0x17e/0x1df [<ffffffff9f9eea37>] udp_sendmsg+0x5a2/0x77c [<ffffffff9f9f8cb8>] inet_sendmsg+0x37/0x5e This seems new because I never see this before. I don't touch chronyd in my VM, so I have no idea why it sends out UDP packets, my guess is it is some periodical packet. I don't think I use conntrack either, since /proc/net/ip_conntrack does not exist.
