Hello!

> Also, there is some code for refcnt's in it that looks wrong.

Yes, it is disgusting. rcu does not allow to increase socket refcnt
in lookup routine.

Ben's version looks cleaner here, it does not touch refcnt
in rcu lookups. But it is dubious too:

 do_time_wait:
+       sock_hold(sk);

is obviously in violation of the rule. Probably, rcu lookup should do something
like:

if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&sk->sk_refcnt))
	pretend_it_is_not_found; 

It is clear Ben did not look into IBM patch, because one known place
of trouble is missed: when socket moves from established to timewait,
timewait bucket must be inserted before established socket is removed.

Alexey
