I've removed the patch to not sock_put listeners. You bump the refcount just before, which I missed. However, I think that the code handling listening sockets still has problems:
My suggestion is to drop the listening socket refcount logic on >= 4.6 kernels.
I think I've found two bugs in the way glb-redirect releases socket references. One of them is leading to kernel crashes, while the other one I spotted because I fixed a different SOCK_RCU_FREE bug recently (so you can consider it a preemptive fix). Please see the commit descriptions for details.
We're in the process of migrating away from
glb-redirect
, so I haven't run this through the test suite. I'd appreciate it if you could do that for me.
