Fixed? It's not fixed by that commit. The workqueue code merily got a new
WARN_ON_ONCE(). But the underlying problem is still unfixed in net/smc

That one is related to workqueues:

> ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x20

delayed_work_timer_fn() is what queues the work once the timer expires.

smc_release does at the end of the function:

if (smc->use_fallback) {
schedule_delayed_work(&smc->sock_put_work, TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN);
} else if (sk->sk_state == SMC_CLOSED) {
smc_conn_free(&smc->conn);
schedule_delayed_work(&smc->sock_put_work,
SMC_CLOSE_SOCK_PUT_DELAY);
}
sk->sk_prot->unhash(sk);
release_sock(sk);

sock_put(sk);

sock_put(sk)
{
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&sk->sk_refcnt))
sk_free(sk);
}

That means either smc_release() queued delayed work or it was already
queued.

But in neither case it holds an extra refcount on sk. Otherwise sock_put()
would not end up in sk_free().
