Subject: [PATCH net 3/4] af_unix: Fix scm_stat.nr_fds leak in unix_dgram_disconnected().
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 05:19:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106051905.218638-4-sidchintamaneni@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106051905.218638-1-sidchintamaneni@gmail.com>
When a connected SOCK_DGRAM socket disconnects (e.g. via connect() with
AF_UNSPEC), reconnects to a different peer, or observes a dead peer in
unix_dgram_sendmsg(), unix_dgram_disconnected() purges all unread
datagrams from sk->sk_receive_queue via skb_queue_purge_reason().
Because skb_queue_purge_reason() frees each skb without calling
scm_stat_del(sk, skb), any SCM_RIGHTS file descriptors attached to the
purged skbs remain permanently accounted in u->scm_stat.nr_fds (reported
as scm_fds in /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>) for the remaining lifetime of the
socket.
Move scm_stat_add() and scm_stat_del() above unix_dgram_disconnected()
and dequeue each skb in unix_dgram_disconnected() so scm_stat_del() is
called before kfree_skb_reason().
Fixes: 3c32da19a858 ("unix: Show number of pending scm files of receive queue in fdinfo")
