This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/handshake: fix file ref count in handshake_nl_accept_doit() to the 6.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-handshake-fix-file-ref-count-in-handshake_nl_acc.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2c307fd167276a5b7ca5df018f7e2dd808f9e723 Author: Moritz Wanzenböck <moritz.wanzenboeck@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 19 14:58:47 2023 +0200 net/handshake: fix file ref count in handshake_nl_accept_doit() [ Upstream commit 7798b59409c345d4a6034a4326bceb9f7e2e8b58 ] If req->hr_proto->hp_accept() fail, we call fput() twice: Once in the error path, but also a second time because sock->file is at that point already associated with the file descriptor. Once the task exits, as it would probably do after receiving an error reading from netlink, the fd is closed, calling fput() a second time. To fix, we move installing the file after the error path for the hp_accept() call. In the case of errors we simply put the unused fd. In case of success we can use fd_install() to link the sock->file to the reserved fd.
