net: sock_copy() fixes
Commit e912b1142be8f1e2c71c71001dc992c6e5eb2ec1 (net: sk_prot_alloc() should not blindly overwrite memory) took care of not zeroing whole new socket at allocation time. sock_copy() is another spot where we should be very careful. We should not set refcnt to a non null value, until we are sure other fields are correctly setup, or a lockless reader could catch this socket by mistake, while not fully (re)initialized. This patch puts sk_node & sk_refcnt to the very beginning of struct sock to ease sock_copy() & sk_prot_alloc() job. We add appropriate smp_wmb() before sk_refcnt initializations to match our RCU requirements (changes to sock keys should be committed to memory before sk_refcnt setting) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
