[ Upstream commit9762450949] The SMC_LLC_CONFIRM_LINK / SMC_LLC_ADD_LINK_CONT branch in smc_llc_event_handler() stores an incoming qentry into the local LLC flow without first checking whether a qentry is already pending. If a malicious or buggy peer sends a second CONFIRM_LINK or ADD_LINK_CONT request while a flow is active and flow->qentry is already set, smc_llc_flow_qentry_set() overwrites the pointer without freeing the previous allocation, leaking one kmalloc-96 object per spurious message. The sibling SMC_LLC_DELETE_LINK branch already has the correct !flow->qentry guard. Apply the same guard to the CONFIRM_LINK/ADD_LINK_CONT branch so that a duplicate message when qentry is already occupied falls through to break and is freed by the kfree(qentry) at the out: label, rather than silently leaking the existing allocation. The response direction (smc_llc_rx_response()) is unaffected: it already guards with flow->qentry at the equivalent site and drops duplicate responses correctly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
