From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit 110c43304db6f06490961529536c362d9ac5732f upstream. As soon as an skb is queued into socket error queue, another thread can consume it, so we are not allowed to reference skb anymore, or risk use after free.
