In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sock_map: avoid race between sock_map_close and sk_psock_put
sk_psock_get will return NULL if the refcount of psock has gone to 0, which will happen when the last call of sk_psock_put is done. However, sk_psock_drop may not have finished yet, so the close callback will still point to sock_map_close despite psock being NULL.
This can be reproduced with a thread deleting an element from the sock map, while the second one creates a socket, adds it to the map and closes it.
That will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE:

Use sk_psock, which will only check that the pointer is not been set to NULL yet, which should only happen after the callbacks are restored. If, then, a reference can still be gotten, we may call sk_psock_stop and cancel psock->work.
As suggested by Paolo Abeni, reorder the condition so the control flow is less convoluted.
After that change, the reproducer does not trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE anymore.
