Are you sure?
How could another process release this socket when its fd is still refcnt'ed? That is, accept() still does not return yet at the point of schedule().
Also, the above pattern is pretty common in networking subsystem, see sk_wait_event(), so how come it is only problematic for netrom?
Thanks.
