Fixes: 457528eb27c3 ("net/sctp: convert sctp_getsockopt_peeloff_common() to FD_PREPARE()")This commit seems to no longer exist.
But I triggered a similar call trace with FAULT_INJECTION on net-next.git:
[] FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.

net/socket: convert sock_map_fd() to FD_ADD()
static int sock_map_fd(struct socket *sock, int flags)
{
int fd;
fd = FD_ADD(flags, sock_alloc_file(sock, flags, NULL));
if (fd < 0)
sock_release(sock);
return fd;
}
The allocation failure in sock_alloc_file() will call sock_release(),
and it should not be called again in sock_map_fd().
It could be fixed by:
diff --git a/net/socket.c b/net/socket.c
