IPPROTO_SMC sockets create an internal TCP sock ("clcsock") from the proto->init hook. When socket creation fails after proto->init has run - e.g. a cgroup BPF program attached to BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE denies the socket - sk_common_release() only invokes sk_prot->destroy if it is set, but neither smc_inet_prot nor smc_inet6_prot defines it, and smc_destruct() returns early unless sk_state is SMC_CLOSED. As a result, every failing socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_SMC) call leaks one tcp_sock, so an unprivileged task able to attach a deny-all BPF_CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE program to its own cgroup can grow kernel memory unboundedly. Add a .destroy hook to both protos that releases the clcsock via smc_clcsock_release(). smc_sk_init() hashes the sock into the smc hashinfo before the clcsock is created, and smc_diag dumps walk that hash dereferencing smc->clcsock without taking clcsock_release_lock, while sk_common_release() calls .destroy before .unhash. Unhash the sock before releasing the clcsock, as __smc_release() does, so a concurrent dump cannot observe the release; the second unhash in sk_common_release() is a no-op. Fixes: d25a92ccae6b ("net/smc: Introduce IPPROTO_SMC") Reported-by: Abaci Assisted-by: abaci:qwen3.8-max Signed-off-by: Chuyf26 --- Changes since v2 (answering the review): - dropped the smc->clcsock = NULL store: sk_alloc() zeroes the sock (__GFP_ZERO / sk_prot_clear_nulls()), so it is already NULL. The mutex concern does not apply either: .destroy only runs after smc_sk_init() initialized clcsock_release_lock. - unhash the sock before releasing the clcsock in .destroy so a concurrent smc_diag dump cannot observe the release (sk_common_release() calls .destroy before .unhash); the second unhash is a no-op. Tested on a KASAN+SMC_DIAG kernel: the v2 version hits a KASAN report in __smc_diag_dump() when a diag dump races with failing IPPROTO_SMC socket creation, v3 stays clean under the same stress. net/smc/smc_inet.c | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/smc/smc_inet.c b/net/smc/smc_inet.c index a94084b4a498..520b666fdd8f 100644 --- a/net/smc/smc_inet.c +++ b/net/smc/smc_inet.c @@ -15,13 +15,16 @@ #include "smc_inet.h" #include "smc.h" +#include "smc_close.h" static int smc_inet_init_sock(struct sock *sk); +static void smc_inet_destroy_sock(struct sock *sk); static struct proto smc_inet_prot = { .name = "INET_SMC", .owner = THIS_MODULE, .init = smc_inet_init_sock, + .destroy = smc_inet_destroy_sock, .hash = smc_hash_sk, .unhash = smc_unhash_sk, .release_cb = smc_release_cb, @@ -68,6 +71,7 @@ static struct proto smc_inet6_prot = { .name = "INET6_SMC", .owner = THIS_MODULE, .init = smc_inet_init_sock, + .destroy = smc_inet_destroy_sock, .hash = smc_hash_sk, .unhash = smc_unhash_sk, .release_cb = smc_release_cb, @@ -116,6 +120,18 @@ static int smc_inet_init_sock(struct sock *sk) return smc_create_clcsk(net, sk, sk->sk_family); } +static void smc_inet_destroy_sock(struct sock *sk) +{ + /* The sock is hashed and smc_diag dumps dereference smc->clcsock + * without clcsock_release_lock, while sk_common_release() calls + * .destroy before .unhash.
