Thanks.

Can you also please provide a summary of the event sequence that
triggers the bug? Based on your Reported-by tag, I guess this is based
on the syzbot reproducer:

https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/c/VbHoSsBz0hk/m/cOxOoTgPCAAJ

but perhaps you can give a summary of the event sequence that causes
the bug? Is it that the call:

setsockopt$inet_tcp_TCP_CONGESTION(r0, 0x6, 0xd,
&(0x7f0000000000)='cdg\x00', 0x4)

initializes the CC and happens before the connection is established,
and then when the connection is established, the line that sets:
icsk->icsk_ca_initialized = 0;
is incorrect, causing the CC to be initialized again without first
calling the cleanup code that deallocates the CDG-allocated memory?

thanks,
neal
