Yeah, we miss inet6_destroy_sock() in SCTP. :-(

Looks good to me.

OK, I will send a formal (and tested ;) ) patch.

I was shortly wondering whether there could be a use-after-free by
doing this after sctp_destroy_sock() due to the sctp_endpoint_destroy()
that would eventually drop a ref on the socket, but the endpoint holds
a separate ref, so we should be good.

More generically ->destroy() caller must keep a reference on the socket.

inet_csk_destroy_sock() for example uses sk after

sk->sk_prot->destroy(sk);

Right, and later on, we might call into ->sk_destruct() when there are no
more refs (in SCTP case: sctp_destruct_sock()).

Thanks,
Daniel
