Yes, basically these two sites I got (during boot, I didn't look much 
further if I could have gotten them from somewhere else too):

$ grep -A1 '[]] sock_prot_inuse_add[+]' dmesg.log  | grep "fffff" | grep -v sock_prot_inuse_add | sort | uniq
 [<ffffffff80514cdd>] unix_create1+0x161/0x176
 [<ffffffff805151de>] unix_sock_destructor+0xb6/0xbc
