From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 9ac25fc063751379cb77434fef9f3b088cd3e2f7 ] TX skbs do not necessarily hold a reference on skb->sk->sk_refcnt By the time TX completion happens, sk_refcnt might be already 0. sock_hold()/sock_put() would then corrupt critical state, like sk_wmem_alloc and lead to leaks or use after free.
