The direct cause of this issue is that after smc_listen_out_connected(), newclcsock->sk may be NULL since it will releases the smcsk. Therefore, if the application closes the socket immediately after accept, newclcsock->sk can be NULL. A possible execution order could be as follows:
smc_listen_work | userspace ----------------------------------------------------------------- lock_sock(sk) | smc_listen_out_connected() | | - smc_listen_out | | | - release_sock | | |- sk->sk_data_ready() | | fd = accept(); | close(fd); | - socket->sk = NULL; /* newclcsock->sk is NULL now */ SMC_STAT_SERV_SUCC_INC(sock_net(newclcsock->sk))
Since smc_listen_out_connected() will not fail, simply swapping the order of the code can easily fix this issue.
