There seems to be varying usage of SYS_ARCH_PROTECT() around calls to tryget_socket_unconn() and tryget_socket_unconn_nouse(). What cases should those calls be protected? At first, I thought maybe tryget_socket_unconn() always required SYS_ARCH_PROTECT due to incrementing the socket used counter, but sock_inc_used() is already internally uses SYS_ARCH_PROTECT
tryget_socket_unconn() must be called protected or there would be a race between tryget_socket_unconn_nouse() returning a socket and calling sock_inc_used(ret). It's true that in this case, the latter wouldn't need protection itself...
Looking through the code, there *is* a race condition when called from get_socket(), which always seems to be called unlocked. I'll file a bug for this.
