[PATCH net v3 1/1] can: can_skb_set_owner(): fix ref counting if socket was closed before setting skb ownership

From: Oleksij Rempel
Date: Wed Feb 24 2021 - 03:01:54 EST


There are two ref count variables controlling the free()ing of a socket:
- struct sock::sk_refcnt - which is changed by sock_hold()/sock_put()
- struct sock::sk_wmem_alloc - which accounts the memory allocated by
the skbs in the send path.

In case there are still TX skbs on the fly and the socket() is closed,
the struct sock::sk_refcnt reaches 0. In the TX-path the CAN stack
clones an "echo" skb, calls sock_hold() on the original socket and
references it. This produces the following back trace:

To fix this problem, only set skb ownership to sockets which have still
a ref count > 0.
