Out of curiosity, how can you drop socket inode, since it is always
attached to socket which is removed automatically when connection is
closed. Any force of dropping socket inode can only result in connection
drop, i.e. there are no inodes, which are placed in cache and are not
yet freed, if there are no attached sockets.

So question is how does it work for sockets?
