ipv4: irq safe sk_dst_[re]set() and ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() fix
[ Upstream commit 7f502361531e9eecb396cf99bdc9e9a59f7ebd7f ]
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 e47eb5dfb296b ("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.
