[PATCH] af_unix: fix u->inq_len accounting in manage_oob() and unix_stream_read_skb()
From: Hui Peng
Date: Sat Sep 19 2026 - 18:18:21 EST
When an old OOB skb is replaced and discarded in manage_oob(), or when a
fully consumed OOB skb is skipped in unix_stream_read_skb(), the
discarded byte count is not subtracted from u->inq_len (or is subtracted
inconsistently), causing SIOCINQ / FIONREAD to report stale positive
byte counts on an empty AF_UNIX stream socket. Properly account
u->inq_len when dropping or skipping consumed OOB skbs.
Fixes: 314001f0bf92 ("af_unix: Add OOB support")
