In kcm_sendmsg(), newly allocated socket buffers can be added to skb->next. If
an error occurred and jumped to out_error label, those newly allocated socket
buffers can be leaked. This patch fixes this issue by remembering the last
allocated socket buffer in kcm_tx_msg(head)->last_skb.

I think the root cause should be clarified a little more. When the
'head' skb will be freed, all the frag_list skbs will be released, too.

AFAICS the issue is that in case of error after copying some bytes,
kcm_tx_msg(head)->last_skb is left unmodified and such reference is
used as the cursor to append newly allocated skbs to 'head'.

A later kcm_sendmsg will use an obsoleted 'last_skb' reference,
corrupting the 'head' frag_list and causing the leak.

The fix looks correct, but could you please send a v2 with an
updated/more extensive commit message?

Additionally please feed the patch to syzbot, so it can verify the fix,
and add the relevant tag.

Thanks,

Thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, I'll send a v2 patch
with the detailed root cause.

I got it. I'll try syzbot for the v2 patch.
