Thanks for quick response. Funny thing is that once I applied this patch, the leaks went away. It could be the fuzzers do not always reproduce the leaks or it could be that call_rcu() in skb_dst_drop() takes a long time waiting for grace periods which may confuse kmemleak because skb has already gone.
