I think this deserves a third parameter, to avoid confusion.

Can you explain how this could happen ?
Again, we own the lock here, finding a socket in ehash, with a zero
refcount can not happen.

Only a true rcu lookup could see a zero refcount.

Why could not we 'find' a prior socket, and since you ignore the result,
leave a refcount increment, and a socket leak ?

Same remark for all callers.

See the problem here ?

If tw was initially NULL, then inet_ehash_nolisten() could have overwritten tw
with another socket.

Surely calling inet_twsk_bind_unhash() could be disastrous.
