SOCK_RCU_FREE is exactly for sock and for sock_put(),
you need to look into sock_put() path to see where SOCK_RCU_FREE
is tested.

Why do you believe we still have use-after-free with SOCK_RCU_FREE?

tun_net_xmit() holds RCU read lock, so with SOCK_RCU_FREE,
the sock won't be freed until tun_net_xmit() releases RCU read lock.
This is just how RCU works...
