I think you have to hold this refcnt before making tunnel->sock visible to others. Why not just move this together and simply release the refcnt on error path? diff --git a/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c b/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c index 203890e378cb..8eb805ee18d4 100644 --- a/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c +++ b/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c @@ -1478,11 +1478,15 @@ int l2tp_tunnel_register(struct l2tp_tunnel *tunnel, struct net *net, tunnel->l2tp_net = net; pn = l2tp_pernet(net); + sk = sock->sk; + sock_hold(sk); + tunnel->sock = sk; + spin_lock_bh(&pn->l2tp_tunnel_list_lock); list_for_each_entry(tunnel_walk, &pn->l2tp_tunnel_list, list) { if (tunnel_walk->tunnel_id == tunnel->tunnel_id) { spin_unlock_bh(&pn->l2tp_tunnel_list_lock); - + sock_put(sk); ret = -EEXIST; goto err_sock; } @@ -1490,10 +1494,6 @@ int l2tp_tunnel_register(struct l2tp_tunnel *tunnel, struct net *net, list_add_rcu(&tunnel->list, &pn->l2tp_tunnel_list); spin_unlock_bh(&pn->l2tp_tunnel_list_lock); - sk = sock->sk; - sock_hold(sk); - tunnel->sock = sk; - if (tunnel->encap == L2TP_ENCAPTYPE_UDP) { struct udp_tunnel_sock_cfg udp_cfg = { .sk_user_data = tunnel,
