This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests/bpf: Fix a fd leak in error paths in open_netns to the 6.6-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: selftests-bpf-fix-a-fd-leak-in-error-paths-in-open_n.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 45eb3414d762a1f9b533822ba8295dfcf3845611 Author: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 23 18:35:27 2024 +0800 selftests/bpf: Fix a fd leak in error paths in open_netns [ Upstream commit 151f7442436658ee84076681d8f52e987fe147ea ] As Martin mentioned in review comment, there is an existing bug that orig_netns_fd will be leaked in the later "goto fail;" case after open("/proc/self/ns/net") in open_netns() in network_helpers.c. This patch adds "close(token->orig_netns_fd);" before "free(token);" to fix it.
