Subject: [PATCH v2] rxrpc: Put aborted conn for challenge packet
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:00:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928030040.185260-1-eadavis@sina.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179033111533.2160803.6082294415431468966@kernel.org>
RxRPC aborts the connection if the secure connection establishment fails.
Subsequently, receiving a challenge-type packet on the aborted connection
does not put the connection, this causes an imbalance in the connection's
reference count, potentially hitting:
kernel BUG at net/rxrpc/conn_client.c:64!
RIP: 0010:rxrpc_destroy_client_conn_ids net/rxrpc/conn_client.c:64 [inline]
RIP: 0010:rxrpc_purge_client_connections+0xc0/0x1a0 net/rxrpc/conn_client.c:145
Call Trace:
rxrpc_destroy_local+0x262/0x300 net/rxrpc/local_object.c:451
rxrpc_io_thread+0x2e1a/0x3820 net/rxrpc/io_thread.c:579
Put the connection before returning when processing a received challenge
packet.
Fixes: 5800b1cf3fd8 ("rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE")
