Re: [PATCH net-next] net: bpf: fix request_sock leak in filter.c

[Antoine Tenart]

Hi Jon,

This patch is targeted at the networking subsystem, as such (see the
"NETWORKING [GENERAL]" section in MAINTAINERS), you should send it to
netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and to the networking maintainers (David, Jakub,
Paolo & Eric).

This also fixes an issue and should be targeted at [net] instead of
[net-next]. Because of this you'll also need a Fixes: tag.

You need to put my SoB here when using the above tag. You'll also need
to put your SoB at the end of all the above tags instead of the top.

I'd suggest to add a comment here to explain why sock_gen_put is called
on the original sk.

Ditto.
