![]() Now sctp increases sk_wmem_alloc by 1 when doing set_owner_w for the skb allocked in sctp_packet_transmit and decreases by 1 when freeing this skb. But when this skb goes through networking stack, some subcomponents might change skb->truesize and add the same amount on sk_wmem_alloc. However sctp doesn't know the amount to decrease by, it would cause a leak on sk->sk_wmem_alloc and the sock can never be freed. Xiumei found this issue when it hit esp_output_head() by using sctp over ipsec, where skb->truesize is added and so is sk->sk_wmem_alloc. Since sctp has used sk_wmem_queued to count for writable space since Commit |

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.
