the code is symmetric:
you hold the sk lock then do your thing and then release it.

if you claim that sk can be freed by another process after you released it,
then due to symmetry it also can be freed before you locked it, unless

Apart to cases where the socket fd is passed over to other process the
sk is not shared between process, what most likely we want the
sock_lock is for preventing different threads to perform different
operation simultaneously which most likely would cause unexpected
results (e.g. thread 1 calls connect, thread 2 calls close), which is
why most, if not all, proto_ops implementation do call sock_lock as
soon as possible.


yes, this what i am trying to explain that the sock_lock is used for
serializing the socket state and not its life cycle.

sk must b still valid here :), so there was no free to sk object

The sk may be valid but it could wakeup another thread pending on
sock_lock which would then do shutdown/close so the next time this
thread attempts to perform sock_lock the state could have been
changed.


this is my point, but instead of the pending thread waking up after you
released the sock for the first time, imagine if it managed to grab
the lock and do the shutdown one tick before you attempt the first
sock_lock() in rfcomm_sock_connect()
