Descubrimos que un programa BPF estaba realizando una b\u00fasqueda de socket con toma un refcnt en el socket y que estaba encontrando el request_socket pero devolviendo el socket LISTEN principal a trav\u00e9s de sk_to_full_sk() sin decrementar primero el socket de solicitud secundario, lo que resultaba en una fuga de objeto slab request_sock. Este parche conserva el comportamiento existente de devolver calcetines completos al llamador, pero tambi\u00e9n decrementa el request_socket secundario si hay uno presente antes de hacerlo para evitar la fuga.
