Yes you miss that packet_release() has memset()'s so we won't hit
that path. :)

However, I missed the swap() in this messy function, actually I
believe the bug is that we modify tpacket_kbdq_core inside rx_ring
in non-closing case without actually stopping its timer. I feel
more confident with the following patch:
