rtlwifi: Fix leak of skb when processing C2H_BT_INFO
With commit 0a9f8f0a1ba9 ("rtlwifi: fix btmpinfo timeout while processing
C2H_BT_INFO"), calling rtl_c2hcmd_enqueue() with rtl_c2h_fast_cmd() true,
the routine returns without freeing that skb, thereby leaking it.
This issue has been discussed at
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/401
and the fix tested there.

Hey, i got a memory leak on Ubuntu 18.04.2 even in console mode (no X/GUI)
the memory usage grows slowly to take all the available RAM when i let the
computer running over the night (with just top and irssi), and i have to reboot
to get things back to normal. I didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 17.10 but i
was still flooded with message about pci aer taking lots of disk space in the
logs, but pci=noaer fixed this problem and i had no memory leak.

Kernel log gets spammed with AERs so owner uses "pci=noaer"; that was briefly
disabled to capture the AERs.
Memory seems to be consumed (~6 GB of 8GB) just by leaving PC
overnight booted just to console (systemd.unit=multi-user.target).
The memory leak doesn't affect Windows but owner is going to check
Windows Event Log for signs of AERs being logged.
---
Original suspect of AER is not guilty.
This turns out to be a bug in the rtlwifi driver where in some rare
circumstances it fails to free an sk_buf.
Reporter has been testing a DKMS build of rtlwfi with the fix applied
and confirms it solves the issue.
Upstream has the commit. Can we get this cherry-picked into all
releases?

Ok the bug is fixed, it was in fact the same issue as discussed here:
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/401
And the fix:
https://github.com/0day-
ci/linux/commit/3e10e17914a56b27007604880d6de7e7ff241e14
Rebuilding the rtlwifi module with the patch fixed the problem, memory is
stable not leaking anymore!
Thanks a lot #ubuntu-discuss and especially TJ-!

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1831751] Re: rtlwifi: aggresive memory leak
** Summary changed: - Possible memory leak due to PCI AER faults even with pci=noaer + rtlwifi: aggresive memory leak -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831751 Title: rtlwifi: aggresive memory leak Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Hey, i got a memory leak on Ubuntu 18.04.2 even in console mode (no X/GUI) the memory usage grows slowly to take all the available RAM when i let the computer running over the night (with just top and irssi), and i have to reboot to get things back to normal. I didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 17.10 but i was still flooded with message about pci aer taking lots of disk space in the logs, but pci=noaer fixed this problem and i had no memory leak. The computer is a common laptop: HP Pavilion. --- Kernel log gets spammed with AERs so owner uses "pci=noaer"; that was briefly disabled to capture the AERs. Memory seems to be consumed (~6 GB of 8GB) just by leaving PC overnight booted just to console (systemd.unit=multi-user.target). The memory leak doesn't affect Windows but owner is going to check Windows Event Log for signs of AERs being logged. --- ## AERs (repeated several times per second) [ 34.978011] pcieport :00:1d.0: device [8086:9d1b] error status/mask=0001/2000 [ 34.978013] pcieport :00:1d.0:[ 0] Receiver Error (First) [ 34.978038] pcieport :00:1d.0: AER: Corrected error received: :00:1d.0 [ 34.978042] pcieport :00:1d.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID) ## PCI device +-1d.0-[04]00.0 Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
