4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9417d81f4f8adfe20a12dd1fadf73a618cbd945d ] sk_setup_caps() is called to set sk->sk_dst_cache in pptp_connect, so we have to dst_release(sk->sk_dst_cache) in pptp_sock_destruct, otherwise, the dst refcnt will leak. It can be reproduced by this syz log: r1 = socket$pptp(0x18, 0x1, 0x2) bind$pptp(r1, &(0x7f0000000100)={0x18, 0x2, {0x0, @local}}, 0x1e) connect$pptp(r1, &(0x7f0000000000)={0x18, 0x2, {0x3, @remote}}, 0x1e) Consecutive dmesg warnings will occur: unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1 v1->v2: - use rcu_dereference_protected() instead of rcu_dereference_check(), as suggested by Eric.
