But we can in inet6?_steal_sock() by calling sk_is_refcounted() again via skb_steal_sock(). In inet6?_steal_sock(), we call inet6?_lookup_reuseport() only for sk that was a TCP listener or UDP non-connected socket until just before the sk_state checks. Then, we know *refcounted should be false for such sockets even before inet6?_lookup_reuseport(). After the checks, sk might be poped out of the reuseport group before inet6?_lookup_reuseport() and reuse_sk might be NULL, but it's not related because *refcounted is a value for sk, not for reuse_sk.
