What we know about sk before inet6?_lookup_reuseport() are (1) sk was full socket in bpf_sk_assign() (2) sk had SOCK_RCU_FREE in bpf_sk_assign() (3) sk was TCP_LISTEN here if TCP After bpf_sk_assign(), reqsk is never converted to fullsock, and UDP never clears SOCK_RCU_FREE. If sk is TCP, now we are in the RCU grace period and confirmed sk->sk_state was TCP_LISTEN. Then, TCP_LISTEN sk cannot be reused and SOCK_RCU_FREE is never cleared. So, before/after inet6?_lookup_reuseport(), the fact that sk is not refcounted here should not change in spite of that reuse_sk is NULL. What do you think ?
