Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: Fix the sk->sk_forward_alloc warning of sk_stream_kill_queues When running `test_sockmap` selftests, the following warning appears: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 197 at net/core/stream.c:205 sk_stream_kill_queues+0xd3/0xf0 Call Trace: <TASK> inet_csk_destroy_sock+0x55/0x110 tcp_rcv_state_process+0xd28/0x1380 ? tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x77/0x2c0 tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x77/0x2c0 __release_sock+0x106/0x130 __tcp_close+0x1a7/0x4e0 tcp_close+0x20/0x70 inet_release+0x3c/0x80 __sock_release+0x3a/0xb0 sock_close+0x14/0x20 __fput+0xa3/0x260 task_work_run+0x59/0xb0 exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0x1b3/0x1c0 syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x19/0x50 do_syscall_64+0x48/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae The root case is in commit 84472b436e76 ("bpf, sockmap: Fix more uncharged while msg has more_data"), where I used msg->sg.size to replace the tosend, causing breakage: if (msg->apply_bytes && msg->apply_bytes < tosend) tosend = psock->apply_bytes;
