4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ed5d7788a934a4b6d6d025e948ed4da496b4f12e ] It is wrong to schedule a work from sk_destruct using the socket as the memory reserve because the socket will be freed immediately after the return from sk_destruct. Instead we should do the deferral prior to sk_free. This patch does just that.
