[PATCH 3.17 012/319] netlink: Re-add locking to netlink_lookup() and seq walker

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 23:25:33 EST


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

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

From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 78fd1d0ab072d4d9b5f0b7c14a1516665170b565 ]

The synchronize_rcu() in netlink_release() introduces unacceptable
latency. Reintroduce minimal lookup so we can drop the
synchronize_rcu() until socket destruction has been RCUfied.
