[PATCH 3.13 249/259] appletalk: Fix socket referencing in skb

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Fri Aug 08 2014 - 18:22:54 EST


3.13.11.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Utkin <andrey.krieger.utkin@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 36beddc272c111689f3042bf3d10a64d8a805f93 ]

Setting just skb->sk without taking its reference and setting a
destructor is invalid. However, in the places where this was done, skb
is used in a way not requiring skb->sk setting. So dropping the setting
of skb->sk.
Thanks to Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx> for correct solution.
