Hmm, yes, it looks a bit weird, but it is used in a refcount fashion here:

void sk_free(struct sock *sk)
{
	/*
	 * We subtract one from sk_wmem_alloc and can know if
	 * some packets are still in some tx queue.
	 * If not null, sock_wfree() will call __sk_free(sk) later
	 */
	if (refcount_dec_and_test(&sk->sk_wmem_alloc))
		__sk_free(sk);
}
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.13-rc1/source/net/core/sock.c#L1605

And here:

	if (refcount_sub_and_test(len, &sk->sk_wmem_alloc))
		__sk_free(sk);
}

I looked through the commit and couldn't find any direct conversion issues.  
Although I guess it is debatable whether refcoun_t should be used in this kind 
of less conventional case.

The only potential problem I noticed was that based on the following change 
(or rather the original code) it seems like sk_wmem_alloc could sometimes be 
negative. I'm not familiar enough with the code to say whether that really is 
the case.

                if (*entry->status & STATUS_ERROR)
                    atomic_inc(&vcc->stats->tx_err);

But if this is actually supposed to legitimately happen and eventually 
"balance out" refcount_t might not work here. On the other hand this should 
have triggered an earlier WARN_ON already, so it doesn't seem to be the issue 
here?
