    xsk: fix refcount underflow in error path · 85c2c79a
    Magnus Karlsson authored
    Fix a refcount underflow problem reported by syzbot that can happen
    when a system is running out of memory. If xp_alloc_tx_descs() fails,
    and it can only fail due to not having enough memory, then the error
    path is triggered. In this error path, the refcount of the pool is
    decremented as it has incremented before. However, the reference to
    the pool in the socket was not nulled. This means that when the socket
    is closed later, the socket teardown logic will think that there is a
    pool attached to the socket and try to decrease the refcount again,
    leading to a refcount underflow.
    
    I chose this fix as it involved adding just a single line. Another
    option would have been to move xp_get_pool() and the assignment of
    xs->pool to after the if-statement and using xs_umem->pool instead of
    xs->pool in the whole if-statement resulting in somewhat simpler code,
    but this would have led to much more churn in the code base perhaps
    making it harder to backport.
