Hi, RafaÅ reported this to us on IRC, paraphrasing what has been observed: Using a simple rule like `iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG --log-uid`, one can observe on creating a connection and terminating it that the trailing packets have skb->sk->sk_socket == NULL. Is this intended? Is the socket not retained until after TCP has sent out the closing exchange? As I can reproduce: $ telnet 134.76.13.21 80 Trying 134.76.13.21... Connected to 134.76.13.21. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> ^D Connection closed.
