The socket is released and skb is dequeued in a call_rcu() callback:

> +	/* Take the lock to insert the new list but take the opportunity to do
> +	 * some garbage collection on outdated lists */
> +	spin_lock(&unix_multicast_lock);
> +	hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(del_set, pos, &group->mcast_members_lists,
> +			     list) {
> +		if (down_trylock(&del_set->sem)) {
> +			/* the list is being used by someone else */
> +			continue;
> +		}
> +		if (del_set->generation < generation) {
> +			hlist_del_rcu(&del_set->list);
> +			call_rcu(&del_set->rcu, sock_set_reclaim);

The purpose of that chunk is to release outdated struct sock_set soon
enough instead of doing it in destroy_mcast_group(). So senders of
multicast messages don't have to iterate on outdated sock_set when
they are looking for an available set of sockets.

In af_unix.c, lockdep annotations (a09785a2):
/*
 * AF_UNIX sockets do not interact with hardware, hence they
 * dont trigger interrupts - so it's safe for them to have
 * bh-unsafe locking for their sk_receive_queue.lock. Split off
 * this special lock-class by reinitializing the spinlock key:
 */
static struct lock_class_key af_unix_sk_receive_queue_lock_key;

       lockdep_set_class(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock,
                               &af_unix_sk_receive_queue_lock_key);


I don't know if I should avoid releasing sockets in RCU callbacks or
update the lockdep annotations.
