Eric,

can you, please, provide some details about the use-after-free problem
that you've fixed with commit 9f1c2674b328 ("net: memcontrol: defer call
to mem_cgroup_sk_alloc()" ? Do you know how to reproduce it?

Deferring mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() breaks socket memory accounting
and makes it much more fragile in general. So, I wonder, if there are
solutions for the use-after-free problem.

Thank you!

Roman
