Did you have any warning, issue here?

IIUC skb_set_owner_sk_safe() can return false only if the ref counter
is 0, so calling a sock_put() on it should have no effect except to
produce a warning.


Oh yeah, you're totally right. I did not recall how
skb_set_owner_sk_safe() worked internally and thought I'd introduced an
uneven hold/put count with that prior patch when reading through the
code again. I haven't seen any live issue, just misread the code.

Sorry about that, feel free to ignore this patch.

No problem ;-)

Maybe we should add a comment on it.

Thanks,
Stefano
