Hi,

The signed-off-by is missing and the subject does not match the format
of any other wireguard commits.

"Normally" as in what? At all? Or?

This commit message doesn't describe any rationale for this patch. Can
you describe the bug?

`new4` is either NULL or has already been freed here in the `goto retry`
case. `new6` is NULL here.

`new4` has just been freed by `udp_tunnel_sock_release` just above the

I don't see the bug. If there is one, maybe try again with a real patch
that describes it better. If there isn't one, what is the point?
