Embryo socket is not queued in gc_candidates, so we can't drop a reference held by its oob_skb. Let's say we create listener and embryo sockets, send the listener's fd to the embryo as OOB data, and close() them without recv()ing the OOB data. There is a self-reference cycle like listener -> embryo.oob_skb -> listener , so this must be cleaned up by GC. Otherwise, the listener's refcnt is not released and sockets are leaked: # unshare -n # cat /proc/net/protocols | grep UNIX-STREAM UNIX-STREAM 1024 0 -1 NI 0 yes kernel ... # python3 >>> from array import array >>> from socket import * >>> >>> s = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM) >>> s.bind('\0test\0') >>> s.listen() >>> >>> c = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM) >>> c.connect(s.getsockname()) >>> c.sendmsg([b'x'], [(SOL_SOCKET, SCM_RIGHTS, array('i', [s.fileno()]))], MSG_OOB) 1 >>> quit() # cat /proc/net/protocols | grep UNIX-STREAM UNIX-STREAM 1024 3 -1 NI 0 yes kernel ... ^^^ 3 sockets still in use after FDs are close()d Let's drop the embryo socket's oob_skb ref in scan_inflight(). This also fixes a racy access to oob_skb that commit 9841991a446c ("af_unix: Update unix_sk(sk)->oob_skb under sk_receive_queue lock.") fixed for the new Tarjan's algo-based GC.
