[PATCH net 2/2] net: fix socket refcounting in skb_complete_tx_timestamp()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
Date: 2017-03-04 05:12:41
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

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.

Fixes: 62bccb8cdb69 ("net-timestamp: Make the clone operation stand-alone from phy timestamping")
