Damn, Dmitry ;-)
If no one takes care of it by then, I'll look into it next week, thanks.

I'm afraid I cannot reproduce this one?
I enabled dynprintk at sctp_destroy_sock and it does print twice when I
run this test app.
Also added debugs to check association lifetime, and then it was
destroyed. Same for endpoint.

Checking with trace-cmd, both calls to sctp_close() resulted in
sctp_destroy_sock() being called.

As for sock_hold/put, they are matched too.

Ideas? Log is below for double checking

Hummm... I can reproduce it pretty reliably.

[ 197.459024] kmemleak: 11 new suspected memory leaks (see
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
[ 307.494874] kmemleak: 409 new suspected memory leaks (see
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
[ 549.784022] kmemleak: 125 new suspected memory leaks (see
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

I double checked via /proc/slabinfo:

SCTPv6 4373 4420 2368 13 8 : tunables 0 0
0 : slabdata 340 340 0

SCTPv6 starts with almost 0, but grows infinitely while I run the
program in a loop.

Here is my SCTP related configs:

CONFIG_IP_SCTP=y
CONFIG_NET_SCTPPROBE=y
CONFIG_SCTP_DBG_OBJCNT=y
# CONFIG_SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5 is not set
# CONFIG_SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_HMAC_SHA1 is not set
CONFIG_SCTP_DEFAULT_COOKIE_HMAC_NONE=y
# CONFIG_SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5 is not set
# CONFIG_SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_SHA1 is not set

I am on commit 67990608c8b95d2b8ccc29932376ae73d5818727 and I don't
seem to have any sctp-related changes on top.

Ok, now I can. Enabled slub debugs, now I cannot see calls to
sctp_destroy_sock. I see to sctp_close, but not to sctp_destroy_sock.

And SCTPv6 grew by 2 sockets after the execution.

Further checking, it's a race within SCTP asoc migration:
thread 0 thread 1
- app creates a sock
- sends a packet to itself
- sctp will create an asoc and do implicit
handshake
- send the packet
- listen()
- accept() is called and
that asoc is migrated
- packet is delivered
- skb->destructor is called, BUT:

(note that if accept() is called after packet is delivered and skb is freed, it
doesn't happen)

static void sctp_wfree(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
struct sctp_chunk *chunk = skb_shinfo(skb)->destructor_arg;
struct sctp_association *asoc = chunk->asoc;
struct sock *sk = asoc->base.sk;
...
atomic_sub(sizeof(struct sctp_chunk), &sk->sk_wmem_alloc);

and it's pointing to the new socket already. So one socket gets a leak
on sk_wmem_alloc and another gets a negative value:

That's why the socket is not freed..


---8<---

As reported by Dmitry, we cannot migrate asocs that have skbs in tx
queue because they have the destructor callback pointing to the asoc,
but which will point to a different socket if we migrate the asoc in
between the packet sent and packet release.

This patch implements proper error handling for sctp_sock_migrate and
this first sanity check.

Interesting... sctp_sock_migrate() accounts for this race in the
receive buffer, but not the send buffer.

On the one hand I am not crazy about the connect-to-self scenario.
On the other, I think to support it correctly, we should support
skb migrations for the send case just like we do the receive case.

Yes, not thrilled here either about connect-to-self.

But there is a big difference on how both works. For rx we can just look
for wanted skbs in rx queue, as they aren't going anywhere, but for tx I
don't think we can easily block sctp_wfree() call because that may be
happening on another CPU (or am I mistaken here? sctp still doesn't have
RFS but even irqbalance could affect this AFAICT) and more than one skb
may be in transit at a time.

The lockings for this on sctp_chunk would be pretty nasty, I think, and
normal usage lets say wouldn't be benefit from it. Considering the
possible migration, as we can't trust chunk->asoc right away in
sctp_wfree, the lock would reside in sctp_chunk and we would have to go
on taking locks one by one on tx queue for the migration. Ugh ;)

The way it's done now, we wouldn't have to block sctp_wfree. Chunks are released under
lock when they are acked, so we are OK here. The tx completions will just put 1 byte back
to the socket associated with the tx'ed skb, and that should still be ok as
sctp_packet_release_owner will call sk_free().

No, the chunks manipulation is done under the socket locket so I don't think we have to
worry about a per chunk lock. We should be able to trust chunk->asoc pointer always
because each chunk holds a ref on the association. The only somewhat ugly thing
about moving tx chunks is that you have to potentially walk a lot of lists to move
things around. There are all the lists in the sctp_outqueue struct, plus the
per-transport retransmit list...

Even though the above seems to be a PITA, my main reason for recommending this is
that can happen in normal situations too. Consider a very busy association that is
transferring a lot of a data on a 1-to-many socket. The app decides to move do a
peel-off, and we could now be stuck not being able to peel-off for a quite a while
if there is a hick-up in the network and we have to rtx multiple times.

Please let me rephrase it. I'm actually worried about the asoc->base.sk
part of the story and how it's fetched in sctp_wfree(). I think we can
update that sk pointer after sock_wfree() has fetched it but not used it
yet, possibly leading to accounting it twice, one during migration and
one on sock_wfree.
In sock_wfree() it will update some sk stats like sk->sk_wmem_alloc,
among others.

That is, I don't see anything that would avoid that.

Agreed, no per-chunk lock needed, maybe just one to protect
sctp_ep_common.sk ?

Fair point.

sctp_wfree() is only used on skbs that were created as sctp chunks to be transmitted.
Right now, these skbs aren't actually submitted to the IP or to nic to be transmitted.
They are queued at the association level (either in transports or in the outqueue).
They are only freed during ACK processing.

The ACK processing happens under a socket lock and thus asoc->base.sk can not move.

The migration process also happens under a socket lock. As a result, during migration
we are guaranteed the chunk queues remain consistent and that asoc->base.sk linkage
remains consistent. In fact, if you look at the sctp_sock_migrate, we lock both
sockets when we reassign the assoc->base.sk so we know both sockets are properly locked.

So, I am not sure that what you are worried about can happen. Please feel free to
double-check the above of course.

Thanks

Ohh, right. That makes sense. I'll rework the patch. Thanks Vlad.

Hi Marcelo,

Any updates on this? I still see the leak.

Hi Dmitry,

No, not yet, and I'll be out for 3 weeks starting monday. So if I don't
get it by sunday, it will be a while, sorry.

Still happens on 4.5-rc6.

Marcelo, try to apply my config (if yours differs), run the program in
a parallel loop and check /proc/slabinfo (or kmemleak).

Hi Dmitry, I'm just back from PTOs. Will get back to this asap.

Thanks,
