[PATCH 4.4 21/28] tcp/dccp: fix lockdep splat in inet_csk_route_req()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 16 2017 - 13:13:02 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit a6ca7abe53633d08eea1c6756cb49c9b2d4c90bf ]

This patch fixes the following lockdep splat in inet_csk_route_req()

lockdep_rcu_suspicious
inet_csk_route_req
tcp_v4_send_synack
tcp_rtx_synack
inet_rtx_syn_ack
tcp_fastopen_synack_time
tcp_retransmit_timer
tcp_write_timer_handler
tcp_write_timer
call_timer_fn

Thread running inet_csk_route_req() owns a reference on the request
socket, so we have the guarantee ireq->ireq_opt wont be changed or
freed.

lockdep can enforce this invariant for us.
