Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix potential memory leak in proto_register()

If we failed to assign proto idx, we free the twsk_slab_name but forget to
free the twsk_slab. Add a helper function tw_prot_cleanup() to free these
together and also use this helper function in proto_unregister().

Hmm, are you sure you can free the kmem cache name before
kmem_cache_destroy()? To me, it seems kmem_cache_destroy()
frees the name via slab_kmem_cache_release() via kfree_const().
With your patch, we have a double-free on the name?

Or am I missing anything?

Thanks.

Yep, there is a double free here.

Please fix this.

Many thanks for both of you to point this issue out. But I'am not really understand, could you please explain it more?
As far as I can see, the double free path is:
1. kfree(twsk_prot->twsk_slab_name)
2. kmem_cache_destroy
--> shutdown_memcg_caches
--> shutdown_cache
--> slab_kmem_cache_release
--> kfree_const(s->name)
But twsk_prot->twsk_slab_name is allocated from kasprintf via kmalloc_track_caller while twsk_prot->twsk_slab->name is allocated
via kstrdup_const. So I think twsk_prot->twsk_slab_name and twsk_prot->twsk_slab->name point to different memory, and there is no double free.

Or am I missing anything?

By the way, req_prot_cleanup() do the same things, i.e. free the slab_name before involve kmem_cache_destroy(). If there is a double
free, so as here?

Thanks.

You are right. Since it is duplicated, then there is no need to keep
->twsk_slab_name, we can just use twsk_slab->name. I will send
a patch to get rid of it.

Ditto. Can be just removed.

Thanks.
