From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit a383292c86663bbc31ac62cc0c04fc77504636a6 ] When we fail an accept(2) call we will end up freeing the socket twice, once due to the direct sk_free call and once again through newsock. This patch fixes this by removing the sk_free call.
