Xuanqiang Luo fe89feb2bd inet: Avoid ehash lookup race in inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule() 
[ Upstream commit b8ec80b130 ]

Since ehash lookups are lockless, if another CPU is converting sk to tw
concurrently, fetching the newly inserted tw with tw->tw_refcnt == 0 cause
lookup failure.

The call trace map is drawn as follows:
   CPU 0                                CPU 1
   -----                                -----
				     inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule()
				     spin_lock()
				     inet_twsk_add_node_rcu(tw, ...)
__inet_lookup_established()
(find tw, failure due to tw_refcnt = 0)
				     __sk_nulls_del_node_init_rcu(sk)
				     refcount_set(&tw->tw_refcnt, 3)
				     spin_unlock()

By replacing sk with tw atomically via hlist_nulls_replace_init_rcu() after
setting tw_refcnt, we ensure that tw is either fully initialized or not
visible to other CPUs, eliminating the race.

It's worth noting that we held lock_sock() before the replacement, so
there's no need to check if sk is hashed. Thanks to Kuniyuki Iwashima!

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 reStructuredText 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.
