Note IPv6 never had this problem, as tcp_v6_send_response() doesnt use a fake socket at all. I'll probably implement tcp_v4_send_response() to remove these unicast_sock in linux-3.7 Reported-by: John Stultz Bisected-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Paul Moore Cc: Eric Paris Cc: "Serge E.
