Thanks for this report Emil.

I could not find a recent change in this area in last kernels.
If struct sk is hashed (sk_hashed() true), then sk_refcnt was incremented
in sk_nulls_add_node_rcu(), thus its value should be >= 2.

Maybe we have a missing memory barrier somewhere or a list corruption.

1) Could you try CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y ?

2) Could you give model of cpu, since it reminds me the ongoing discussion raised by Jiri Olsa.

CPU1 does an atomic_inc(&sk->sk_refcnt)  : refcnt changes from 1 to 2
then CPU2 does an atomic_read(&sk->sk_refcnt) and reads 1 instead of 2

David, maybe this test is not safe and if we really want to do a check
we need to use a stronger atomic function.

If you can reproduce this problem easily could you try following patch ?

Thank you
