OK.

Do you have any feedback on why or how bh_lock_sock() might be called in
the problem I've described?  I think it has to be a different skb for
the same socket.

When we hit a listening socket, and hung off of that listening
socket we find a child socket, we bh_lock_sock() the child socket
then process the SKB against it instead of the listening socket.

Is this the kind of scenerio you are concerned about?
