There are two problems with calling sock_create_kern() from rds_tcp_accept_one() 1. it sets up a new_sock->sk that is wasteful, because this ->sk is going to get replaced by inet_accept() in the subsequent ->accept() 2. The new_sock->sk is a leaked reference in sock_graft() which expects to find a null parent->sk
Avoid these problems by calling sock_create_lite().
