Minor detail, but note that raw sockets do not use rcu (yet) Since you have read_lock(&hashinfo->lock), no writer can suddenly change sk->sk_refcnt to a zero value. Therefore, a mere "sock_hold(sk)" should be enough to get a reference on the socket. Using atomic_inc_not_zero() also works, but might distract/confuse the next guy trying to understand this code ;) > + read_unlock(&hashinfo->lock); > + > + return sk ? sk : ERR_PTR(-ENOENT); > +} > +
