Hi Andrea,
Aaargh. This problem is much worse than a "harmless __release_sock oops" then. Before the oops is triggered in release_sock, the line
sk->dead = 1
has trashed some random kernel memory!!
Could explain a mysterious crash or two we've had :-) We see the __release_sock oops every now and again.
