[PATCH] net: kcm: fix memory leak in kcm_sendmsg

From: Pavel Skripkin
Date: Wed Jun 02 2021 - 15:27:28 EST


Syzbot reported memory leak in kcm_sendmsg()[1].
The problem was in non-freed frag_list in case of error.

In the while loop:

if (head == skb)
skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list = tskb;
else
skb->next = tskb;

frag_list filled with skbs, but nothing was freeing them.

backtrace:
[<0000000094c02615>] __alloc_skb+0x5e/0x250 net/core/skbuff.c:198
