Well that first sentence is a bit confusing now that I read it again.
Here is a better version,

"
A set of fixes for sockmap to resolve programs referencing sockmaps
and closing without deleting all entries in the map and/or not detaching
BPF programs attached to the map. Both leaving entries in the map and
not detaching programs may result in the map failing to be removed by
BPF infrastructure due to reference counts never reaching zero.
