[0]\n\nLet's avoid calling skb_clone_and_charge_r() for TCP_CLOSE as well.\n\nThis is fine for non-listeners because tcp_rcv_state_process()\ndrops skb for TCP_CLOSE and opt_skb was freed immediately anyway.\n\n[0]:\nsk->sk_forward_alloc\nWARNING: net/ipv4/af_inet.c:162 at inet_sock_destruct+0x64d/0x810 net/ipv4/af_inet.c:162, CPU#1: ksoftirqd/1/28\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 28 Comm:
