Merge branch 'Rework-ip_ra_chain-protection'
Kirill Tkhai says:
====================
Rework ip_ra_chain protection
Commit 1215e51edad1 "ipv4: fix a deadlock in ip_ra_control"
made rtnl_lock() be used in raw_close(). This function is called
on every RAW socket destruction, so that rtnl_mutex is taken
every time. This scales very sadly. I observe cleanup_net()
spending a lot of time in rtnl_lock() and raw_close() is one
of the biggest rtnl user (since we have percpu net->ipv4.icmp_sk).
This patchset reworks the locking: reverts the problem commit
and its descendant, and introduces rtnl-independent locking.
This may have a continuation, and someone may work on killing
rtnl_lock() in mrtsock_destruct() in the future.
v3: Change patches order: [2/5] and [3/5].
v2: Fix sparse warning [4/5], as reported by kbuild test robot.
