Michal Kubecek and Firo Yang did a very nice analysis of crashes
happening in __inet_lookup_established().
Since a TCP socket can go from TCP_ESTABLISH to TCP_LISTEN
(via a close()/socket()/listen() cycle) without a RCU grace period,
I should not have changed listeners linkage in their hash table.
They must use the nulls protocol (Documentation/RCU/rculist_nulls.txt),
so that a lookup can detect a socket in a hash list was moved in
another one.
Since we added code in commit d296ba60d8e2 ("soreuseport: Resolve
merge conflict for v4/v6 ordering fix"), we have to add
hlist_nulls_add_tail_rcu() helper.
The kernel panic reported on all devices,
While running LTP syscalls accept* test cases on stable-rc-4.19 branch kernel.
This report log extracted from qemu_x86_64.
Reverting this patch re-solved kernel crash.
