This is the patch:

Jon can definitely test the patch and give us his feedback.
However, being this part of the code very critical for socket handling, I am
still spending some time with Ralf and Sabrina to make sure we are not
introducing any subtle bug/side effect.
In any case, please feel free to test so we can confirm that the problem you
reported is truly the same as the one we were already investigating.
Jon, were you able to test the patch referenced above by Antonio and
can you so confirm it fixes the issue for you as well?
Unfortunately further review highlighted risk for a critical race condition.
Hence this patch, despite fixing the reported NULL derefs, cannot be
submitted as is.
I am working on a new patch which I should be able to send to netdev for
review in one or two days.
Will report it here as soon as it's submitted.
Thank you.
