From 0933a578cd55b02dc80f219dc8f2efb17ec61c9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sowmini Varadhan Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 08:15:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rds: tcp: use sock_create_lite() to create the accept socket There are two problems with calling sock_create_kern() from rds_tcp_accept_one() 1. it sets up a new_sock->sk that is wasteful, because this ->sk is going to get replaced by inet_accept() in the subsequent ->accept() 2. The new_sock->sk is a leaked reference in sock_graft() which expects to find a null parent->sk Avoid these problems by calling sock_create_lite().
