Subject: [PATCH] netlink: fix races after skb queueing
Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:17:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333700266.5312.19.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

As soon as an skb is queued into socket receive_queue, another thread
can consume it, so we are not allowed to reference skb anymore, or risk
use after free.
