Subject: [PATCH 4.4 11/28] net: fix socket refcounting in skb_complete_tx_timestamp()

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>


[ Upstream commit 9ac25fc063751379cb77434fef9f3b088cd3e2f7 ]

TX skbs do not necessarily hold a reference on skb->sk->sk_refcnt
By the time TX completion happens, sk_refcnt might be already 0.

sock_hold()/sock_put() would then corrupt critical state, like
sk_wmem_alloc and lead to leaks or use after free.

Fixes: 62bccb8cdb69 ("net-timestamp: Make the clone operation stand-alone from phy timestamping")
