Thank you for your time and reply! But I think both 's' and 'tmp' can not
be freed and reused in rose_kill_by_neigh(). Because rose_remove_socket()
calls sk_del_node_init() which is protected by rose_list_lock to delete the
socket node from the hlist and if sk->sk_refcnt equals to 1, the socket will
be deallocated.

static void rose_remove_socket(struct sock *sk)
{
	spin_lock_bh(&rose_list_lock);
	sk_del_node_init(sk);
	spin_unlock_bh(&rose_list_lock);
}

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc6/source/net/rose/af_rose.c#L152

Both 's' and 'tmp' in rose_kill_by_neigh() is also protected by rose_list_lock.

If the socket is deleted from the hlist, sk_for_each_safe() could not find
the socket and the UAF bug could be prevented. 

If the socket could be found by sk_for_each_safe(), we use sock_hold(s)
to increase the refcount of the socket. As a result, the UAF bugs could
be prevented.

Duoming Zhou
