Ouch, right you are, I underlooked that.

[...]

That looks safe to me but, compared to the current code, will need an
additional WMB in tcp_time_wait() and will take the hash lock
unconditionally in inet_twsk_deschedule_put(). The latter should not be
fast-path, I'm unsure if the whole thing be acceptable from performance
perspective??? Eric WDYT?

Thanks,
