From aa1c6a6f7f0518b42994d02756a41cbfdcac1916 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Tommy S. Christensen" Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 13:07:32 -0700 Subject: [NETLINK]: Defer socket destruction a bit In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only other reference to the skb. However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer accounting is disrupted. Signed-off-by: Tommy S. Christensen Acked-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
