From 26abe14379f8e2fa3fd1bcf97c9a7ad9364886fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 8 May 2015 21:10:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] net: Modify sk_alloc to not reference count the netns of kernel sockets. Now that sk_alloc knows when a kernel socket is being allocated modify it to not reference count the network namespace of kernel sockets. Keep track of if a socket needs reference counting by adding a flag to struct sock called sk_net_refcnt. Update all of the callers of sock_create_kern to stop using sk_change_net and sk_release_kernel as those hacks are no longer needed, to avoid reference counting a kernel socket.
