[PATCH 4.4 194/312] ipv6: do not abuse GFP_ATOMIC in inet6_netconf_notify_devconf()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri May 08 2020 - 09:15:48 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 927265bc6cd6374c9bafc43408ece4e92311b149 upstream.

All inet6_netconf_notify_devconf() callers are in process context,
so we can use GFP_KERNEL allocations if we take care of not holding
a rwlock while not needed in ip6mr (we hold RTNL there)

Fixes: d67b8c616b48 ("netconf: advertise mc_forwarding status")
Fixes: f3a1bfb11ccb ("rtnl/ipv6: use netconf msg to advertise forwarding status")
