    genetlink: hold RCU in genlmsg_mcast() · 56440d7e
    Eric Dumazet authored
    While running net selftests with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y I saw
    one lockdep splat [1].
    
    genlmsg_mcast() uses for_each_net_rcu(), and must therefore hold RCU.
    
    Instead of letting all callers guard genlmsg_multicast_allns()
    with a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair, do it in genlmsg_mcast().
    
    This also means the @flags parameter is useless, we need to always use
    GFP_ATOMIC.
