commit 9adc89af724f12a03b47099cd943ed54e877cd59 upstream.
Currently the mentioned helper can end-up freeing the socket wmem
without waking-up any processes waiting for more write memory.
If the partially orphaned skb is attached to an UDP (or raw) socket,
the lack of wake-up can hang the user-space.
Even for TCP sockets not calling the sk destructor could have bad
effects on TSQ.
Address the issue using skb_orphan to release the sk wmem before
setting the new sock_efree destructor. Additionally bundle the
whole ownership update in a new helper, so that later other
potential users could avoid duplicate code.
v1 -> v2:
- use skb_orphan() instead of sort of open coding it (Eric)
- provide an helper for the ownership change (Eric)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
