I had disassembled the __inet_hash_nolisten+0xc1, 
the corruption is located on the:  

__inet_hash_nolisten -->
__sk_nulls_add_node_rcu(sk, list); -->
__sk_nulls_add_node_rcu -->
static inline void hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu(struct hlist_nulls_node *n,
                                        struct hlist_nulls_head *h)
{
... 
    if (!is_a_nulls(first))
        first->pprev = &n->next;  (this line trigger corruption)
...
}

Thanks!
