Subject: Observation of a memory leak with commit 314001f0bf92 ("af_unix: Add OOB support")
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2022 07:48:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKXUXMzZkQvHJ35nwVhcJe+DrtEXGw+eKGVD04=xRJkVUC2sPA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Dear Rao and David,
In our syzkaller instance running on linux-next,
https://elisa-builder-00.iol.unh.edu/syzkaller-next/, we have been
observing a memory leak in prepare_creds,
https://elisa-builder-00.iol.unh.edu/syzkaller-next/report?id=1dcac8539d69ad9eb94ab2c8c0d99c11a0b516a3,
for quite some time.
It is reproducible on v5.15-rc1, v5.15, v5.16-rc8 and next-20220104.
So, it is in mainline, was released and has not been fixed in
linux-next yet.
As syzkaller also provides a reproducer, we bisected this memory leak
to be introduced with commit 314001f0bf92 ("af_unix: Add OOB
support").
We also tested that reverting this commit on torvalds' current tree
made the memory leak with the reproducer go away.
Could you please have a look how your commit introduces this memory
leak? We will gladly support testing your fix in case help is needed.
Best regards,
Lukas
