[ Upstream commit 0b9130247f3b6a1122478471ff0e014ea96bb735 ]
syzbot reported a memory leak in nr_create() [0].
Commit 409db27e3a2e ("netrom: Fix use-after-free of a listening socket.")
added sock_hold() to the nr_heartbeat_expiry() function, where
a) a socket has a SOCK_DESTROY flag or
b) a listening socket has a SOCK_DEAD flag.
But in the case "a," when the SOCK_DESTROY flag is set, the file descriptor
has already been closed and the nr_release() function has been called.
So it makes no sense to hold the reference count because no one will
call another nr_destroy_socket() and put it as in the case "b."
nr_connect
nr_establish_data_link
nr_start_heartbeat
nr_release
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_3
nr->state = NR_STATE_2
sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY);
nr_rx_frame
nr_process_rx_frame
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_2
nr_state2_machine()
nr_disconnect()
nr_sk(sk)->state = NR_STATE_0
sock_set_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)
nr_heartbeat_expiry
switch (nr->state)
case NR_STATE_0
if (sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DESTROY) ||
(sk->sk_state == TCP_LISTEN
&& sock_flag(sk, SOCK_DEAD)))
sock_hold() // ( !!! )
nr_destroy_socket()
To fix the memory leak, let's call sock_hold() only for a listening socket.

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.
