This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled netfilter: nf_log: release skbuff on nlmsg put failure to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt2. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 7ef36feaddbf51e714216a12bfee58cf972371f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Houcheng Lin <houcheng@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 10:36:08 +0200 Subject: netfilter: nf_log: release skbuff on nlmsg put failure commit b51d3fa364885a2c1e1668f88776c67c95291820 upstream. The kernel should reserve enough room in the skb so that the DONE message can always be appended. However, in case of e.g. new attribute erronously not being size-accounted for, __nfulnl_send() will still try to put next nlmsg into this full skbuf, causing the skb to be stuck forever and blocking delivery of further messages. Fix issue by releasing skb immediately after nlmsg_put error and WARN() so we can track down the cause of such size mismatch.
