Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tcp: Don't leak sockets on error paths
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 17:18:21 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513071821.3137329-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513071821.3137329-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

tcp_listen_handler() has several error paths that will cancel the creation
of a new flow, after having accept()ed an incoming socket connection.
Coverity pointed out that in those cases we leak the new socket.  Correct
this by properly closing the socket.  Make sure to also set SO_LINGER so
that the peer will get an RST.
