Eric Dumazet 662ec52260 icmp: change the order of rate limits 
commit 8c2bd38b95 upstream.

ICMP messages are ratelimited :

After the blamed commits, the two rate limiters are applied in this order:

1) host wide ratelimit (icmp_global_allow())

2) Per destination ratelimit (inetpeer based)

In order to avoid side-channels attacks, we need to apply
the per destination check first.

This patch makes the following change :

1) icmp_global_allow() checks if the host wide limit is reached.
   But credits are not yet consumed. This is deferred to 3)

2) The per destination limit is checked/updated.
   This might add a new node in inetpeer tree.

3) icmp_global_consume() consumes tokens if prior operations succeeded.

This means that host wide ratelimit is still effective
in keeping inetpeer tree small even under DDOS.

As a bonus, I removed icmp_global.lock as the fast path
can use a lock-free operation.

Fixes: c0303efeab ("net: reduce cycles spend on ICMP replies that gets rate limited")
Fixes: 4cdf507d54 ("icmp: add a global rate limitation")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
