SubjectRe: [PATCH net v2 0/2] Revert the 'socket_alloc' life cycle change

> The commit 6d7855c54e1e ("sockfs: switch to ->free_inode()") made the
> deallocation of 'socket_alloc' to be done asynchronously using RCU, as
> same to 'sock.wq'. And the following commit 333f7909a857 ("coallocate
> socket_sq with socket itself") made those to have same life cycle.
>
> The changes made the code much more simple, but also made 'socket_alloc'
> live longer than before. For the reason, user programs intensively
> repeating allocations and deallocations of sockets could cause memory
> pressure on recent kernels.

> To avoid the problem, this commit reverts the changes.

Series applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
