From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 057a10fa1f73d745c8e69aa54ab147715f5630ae ] A call trace was found in Hangbin's Codenomicon testing with debug kernel: [ 2615.981988] ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: sctp_generate_proto_unreach_event+0x0/0x3a0 [sctp] [ 2615.995050] WARNING: CPU: 17 PID: 0 at lib/debugobjects.c:328 debug_print_object+0x199/0x2b0 [ 2616.095934] RIP: 0010:debug_print_object+0x199/0x2b0 [ 2616.191533] Call Trace: [ 2616.194265] <IRQ> [ 2616.202068] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x25e/0x3f0 [ 2616.207336] slab_free_freelist_hook+0xeb/0x140 [ 2616.220971] kfree+0xd6/0x2c0 [ 2616.224293] rcu_do_batch+0x3bd/0xc70 [ 2616.243096] rcu_core+0x8b9/0xd00 [ 2616.256065] __do_softirq+0x23d/0xacd [ 2616.260166] irq_exit+0x236/0x2a0 [ 2616.263879] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x18d/0x620 [ 2616.269138] apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 [ 2616.273711] </IRQ> This is because it holds asoc when transport->proto_unreach_timer starts and puts asoc when the timer stops, and without holding transport the transport could be freed when the timer is still running. So fix it by holding/putting transport instead for proto_unreach_timer in transport, just like other timers in transport. v1->v2: - Also use sctp_transport_put() for the "out_unlock:" path in sctp_generate_proto_unreach_event(), as Marcelo noticed.
