I guess you are not getting answers because ipc/mqueue.c has no clear
maintainer and at least I know nothing about mqueue and only very little
about netlink which is also involved here. Do I get it right this was
spotted by some checker, not really causing problems in the wild?
Another question (and this is why I've involved the networking people): Is
it really possible that we end up calling sk_free() from under
mqueue_flush_file() - at the time this is called we are closing the file
but it is not closed yet which means the socket inode is pretty much alive
which I'd *think* means there is still somebody holding socket reference
and thus sock_put() will not drop the last socket reference... Am I missing
something?

Thank you for your advice. I'll cc the maintainer in the network
field in v2.

This is an issue with syzkaller running on the 5.10 kernel, and it
happened only once. And I analyze the mainline tree code, and there's
the same issue.

Sorry, I forgot to add the netlink release process. The following figure
shows a better explanation of how the issue occurred.
Thread A Thread B
... netlink_create //ref = 1
do_mq_notify ...
sock = netlink_getsockbyfilp ... //hold sock, ref = 2
info->notify_sock = sock; ...
... netlink_sendmsg
... skb = netlink_alloc_large_skb
//skb->head is vmalloced
... netlink_unicast
... sk = netlink_getsockbyportid
//hold sock, ref = 3
... netlink_sendskb
... __netlink_sendskb
... skb_queue_tail //put skb
to sk_receive_queue
... sock_put // ref = 2
... ...
... netlink_release
... deferred_put_nlk_sk //ref = 1
...
mqueue_flush_file
spin_lock
remove_notification
netlink_sendskb
sock_put //put sock, ref = 0
sk_free
...
__sk_destruct
netlink_sock_destruct
skb_queue_purge //get skb from sk_receive_queue
...
__skb_queue_purge_reason
kfree_skb_reason
__kfree_skb
...
skb_release_all
skb_release_head_state
netlink_skb_destructor
vfree(skb->head) //sleeping while holding
spinlock
Isn't that a little clearer?
Thank you.
