This means\nsk_is_refcounted(unbound) = true, while sk_is_refcounted(bound) = false.\n\nBecause sockmap accepts unbound UDP sockets, a BPF program can increment a\nsocket's refcount via lookup. If the socket is subsequently bound, the\ntransition from unbound to bound causes bpf_sk_release() to skip the\ndecrement of the refcount, causing a memory leak.\n\nunreferenced object 0xffff88810bc2eb40 (size 1984):\n comm \"test_progs\", pid 2451, jiffies 4295320596\n hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n 7f 00 00 01 7f 00 00 01 d2 04 1b b7 04 d2 00 00 ................\n 02 00 01 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...@............\n backtrace (crc bdee079d):\n kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x557/0x660\n sk_prot_alloc+0x69/0x240\n sk_alloc+0x30/0x460\n inet_create+0x2ce/0xf80\n __sock_create+0x25b/0x5c0\n __sys_socket+0x119/0x1d0\n __x64_sys_socket+0x72/0xd0\n do_syscall_64+0xa1/0x5f0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n\nInstead of special-casing for refcounted sockets, reject unhashed UDP\nsockets during sockmap updates, as there is no benefit to supporting those.\nThis effectively reverts the commit under Fixes, with two exceptions:\n\n1. sock_map_sk_state_allowed() maintains a fall-through `return true`.\n2.
