net: TCP early demux cleanup
early_demux() handlers should be called in RCU context, and as we use skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst), caller must not exit from RCU context before dst use (skb_dst(skb)) or release (skb_drop(dst)) Therefore, rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around ->early_demux() are confusing and not needed : Protocol handlers are already in an RCU read lock section. (__netif_receive_skb() does the rcu_read_lock() ) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
