In the case of sk->dccps_qpolicy == DCCPQ_POLICY_PRIO, dccp_qpolicy_full will drop a skb when qpolicy is full. And the lock in dccp_sendmsg is released before sock_alloc_send_skb and then relocked after sock_alloc_send_skb. The following conditions may lead dccp_qpolicy_push to add skb to an already full sk_write_queue: thread1--->lock thread1--->dccp_qpolicy_full: queue is full. drop a skb thread1--->unlock thread2--->lock thread2--->dccp_qpolicy_full: queue is not full. no need to drop. thread2--->unlock thread1--->lock thread1--->dccp_qpolicy_push: add a skb. queue is full. thread1--->unlock thread2--->lock thread2--->dccp_qpolicy_push: add a skb! thread2--->unlock Fix this by moving dccp_qpolicy_full.
