    ipv4: irq safe sk_dst_[re]set() and ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() fix · 7f502361
    Eric Dumazet authored
    We have two different ways to handle changes to sk->sk_dst
    
    First way (used by TCP) assumes socket lock is owned by caller, and use
    no extra lock : __sk_dst_set() & __sk_dst_reset()
    
    Another way (used by UDP) uses sk_dst_lock because socket lock is not
    always taken. Note that sk_dst_lock is not softirq safe.
    
    These ways are not inter changeable for a given socket type.
    
    ipv4_sk_update_pmtu(), added in linux-3.8, added a race, as it used
    the socket lock as synchronization, but users might be UDP sockets.
    
    Instead of converting sk_dst_lock to a softirq safe version, use xchg()
    as we did for sk_rx_dst in commit e47eb5df ("udp: ipv4: do not use
    sk_dst_lock from softirq context")
    
    In a follow up patch, we probably can remove sk_dst_lock, as it is
    only used in IPv6.
