[added to the 4.1 stable tree] net: fix socket refcounting in skb_complete_wifi_ack()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the  stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit dd4f10722aeb10f4f582948839f066bebe44e5fb ]

TX skbs do not necessarily hold a reference on skb->sk->sk_refcnt
By the time TX completion happens, sk_refcnt might be already 0.

sock_hold()/sock_put() would then corrupt critical state, like
sk_wmem_alloc.

Fixes: bf7fa551e0ce ("mac80211: Resolve sk_refcnt/sk_wmem_alloc issue in wifi ack path")
