    esp: Skip TX bytes accounting when sending from a request socket · a12795d7

    [ Upstream commit 09db5124 ]
    
    On ESP output, sk_wmem_alloc is incremented for the added padding if a
    socket is associated to the skb. When replying with TCP SYNACKs over
    IPsec, the associated sk is a casted request socket, only. Increasing
    sk_wmem_alloc on a request socket results in a write at an arbitrary
    struct offset. In the best case, this produces the following WARNING:

    The issue triggers only when not using TCP syncookies, as for syncookies
    no socket is associated.
