For SMC sockets forced to fallback to TCP, the file is propagated
from the outer SMC to the internal TCP socket. When closing the SMC
socket, the internal TCP socket file pointer must be restored to the
original NULL value, otherwise memory leaks may show up (found with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK).
The internal TCP socket is released in smc_clcsock_release(), which
calls __sock_release() function in net/socket.c. This calls the
needed iput(SOCK_INODE(sock)) only, if the file pointer has been reset
to the original NULL-value.

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.
