From: Antoine Tenart <atenart@kernel.org> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.101 commit 00e6d6c3bc14dfe32824e2c515f0e0f2d6ecf2f1 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5669Z Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 9eeabdf17fa0ab75381045c867c370f4cc75a613 ] When uncloning an skb dst and its associated metadata, a new dst+metadata is allocated and later replaces the old one in the skb. This is helpful to have a non-shared dst+metadata attached to a specific skb. The issue is the uncloned dst+metadata is initialized with a refcount of 1, which is increased to 2 before attaching it to the skb. When tun_dst_unclone returns, the dst+metadata is only referenced from a single place (the skb) while its refcount is 2. Its refcount will never drop to 0 (when the skb is consumed), leading to a memory leak. Fix this by removing the call to dst_hold in tun_dst_unclone, as the dst+metadata refcount is already 1.
