Hmm, I don't see anything criminal here, but I can do for version 2:

:--- a/net/ipv4/tcp_ao.c
:+++ b/net/ipv4/tcp_ao.c
:@@ -939,8 +939,8 @@ void tcp_ao_connect_init(struct sock *sk)
: ao_info->snd_sne_seq = tp->write_seq;
: } else {
: WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
:- kfree(tp->ao_info);
: rcu_assign_pointer(tp->ao_info, NULL);
:+ kfree(ao_info);
: }
: }

just to make static analyzer happy. This part of the code is anyway
under WARN_ON_ONCE(), so it's not something that actually runs (as long
as the code is consistent, it's only error-path to free memory if some
code checks become broken in future, to avoid leaks even than).

Thanks,
Dmitry
