Originally, inet6_sk(sk)->XXX were changed under lock_sock(), so we were able to clean them up by calling inet6_destroy_sock() during the IPv6 -> IPv4 conversion by IPV6_ADDRFORM. However, commit03485f2adc("udpv6: Add lockless sendmsg() support") added a lockless memory allocation path, which could cause a memory leak: setsockopt(IPV6_ADDRFORM) sendmsg() +-----------------------+ +-------+ - do_ipv6_setsockopt(sk, ...) - udpv6_sendmsg(sk, ...) - sockopt_lock_sock(sk) ^._ called via udpv6_prot - lock_sock(sk) before WRITE_ONCE() - WRITE_ONCE(sk->sk_prot, &tcp_prot) - inet6_destroy_sock() - if (!corkreq) - sockopt_release_sock(sk) - ip6_make_skb(sk, ...) - release_sock(sk) ^._ lockless fast path for the non-corking case - __ip6_append_data(sk, ...) - ipv6_local_rxpmtu(sk, ...) - xchg(&np->rxpmtu, skb) ^._ rxpmtu is never freed. - goto out_no_dst; - lock_sock(sk) For now, rxpmtu is only the case, but not to miss the future change and a similar bug fixed in commite27326009a("net: ping6: Fix memleak in ipv6_renew_options()."), let's set a new function to IPv6 sk->sk_destruct() and call inet6_cleanup_sock() there. Since the conversion does not change sk->sk_destruct(), we can guarantee that we can clean up IPv6 resources finally. We can now remove all inet6_destroy_sock() calls from IPv6 protocol specific ->destroy() functions, but such changes are invasive to backport. So they can be posted as a follow-up later for net-next.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
