'ep' and 'sk' are both switched out for new ones in sctp_sock_migrate().

No, that's not right.
The schedule happens *inside* the lock_sock() call.
So if you take the reference before it, you're good.

Yes 100% of the time without this patch.
0% of the time with it applied.

It's probably been there since the code was introduced.
I'll see how far back we have to go.

I generally like patches to encapsulate functional changes.
This one depends on the other, but they are not functionally related.
You're the boss though - I'll squash them if you insist.
