    Subject[ 045/122] tun: fix a crash bug and a memory leak
    Date
    From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

    3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

    commit b09e786bd1dd66418b69348cb110f3a64764626a upstream.

    This patch fixes a crash
    tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel ->
    sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock))
    introduced by commit 1ab5ecb90cb6a3df1476e052f76a6e8f6511cb3d

    The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has
    no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory
    and optionally causes a crash.

    sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that
    "sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when
    creating and closing tun devices.

    This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs
    sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use,
    fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow.

    It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke.
