But then there's SOCK_DGRAM where you can drop unix_peer(sk) without releasing sk; see AF_UNSPEC in unix_dgram_connect(). I think Martin is right, we can crash at many fentries.

I think it will need to be marked as PTR_UNTRUSTED in the verifier for the unix->peer access, so that it cannot be passed to a helper. There is a BTF_TYPE_SAFE_TRUSTED list. afaik, there is no untrusted one now.
What about 'fexit/sk_common_release' that does 'bpf_skc_to_unix_sock(sk)'. Is this something the verifies is supposed to handle? $ python -c 'from socket import *; socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)' BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bpf_skc_to_unix_sock+0x95/0xb0 Read of size 1 at addr ffff888128312112 by task python/4076 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x5d/0x80 print_report+0x170/0x4f3 kasan_report+0xe1/0x180 bpf_skc_to_unix_sock+0x95/0xb0 bpf_prog_70a8d38bd5dbf399_release_exit+0x87/0x8b bpf_trampoline_6442556594+0x64/0xd3 inet_release+0x104/0x230 __sock_release+0xb0/0x270 sock_close+0x18/0x20 __fput+0x36e/0xac0 fput_close_sync+0xe5/0x1a0 __x64_sys_close+0x7d/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x3a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e
