My apologies, I mistakenly read the following if statement in your patch:
+ if (skb == skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue)) {
+ __skb_unlink(skb, &sk->sk_receive_queue);
+ atomic_dec(&skb->users);
+ }
I read the conditional as the following:
+ if (skb = skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue)) {
... which would have caused the problems I was describing. I'm sorry for all
of the confusion/frustration, you patient explanations are correct; I was
wrong in this particular case.
