From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f07157792c633b528de5fc1dbe2e4ea54f8e09d4 ] mptcp_add_pending_subflow() performs a sock_hold() on the subflow, then adds the subflow to the join list. Without a sock_put the subflow sk won't be freed in case connect() fails. unreferenced object 0xffff88810c03b100 (size 3000): [..] sk_prot_alloc.isra.0+0x2f/0x110 sk_alloc+0x5d/0xc20 inet6_create+0x2b7/0xd30 __sock_create+0x17f/0x410 mptcp_subflow_create_socket+0xff/0x9c0 __mptcp_subflow_connect+0x1da/0xaf0 mptcp_pm_nl_work+0x6e0/0x1120 mptcp_worker+0x508/0x9a0 Fixes: 5b950ff4331ddda ("mptcp: link MPC subflow into msk only after accept") Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
