Eric Dumazet ae53d09f11 genetlink: hold RCU in genlmsg_mcast()
[ Upstream commit 56440d7ec2 ]

While running net selftests with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y I saw
one lockdep splat [1].

genlmsg_mcast() uses for_each_net_rcu(), and must therefore hold RCU.

Instead of letting all callers guard genlmsg_multicast_allns()
with a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair, do it in genlmsg_mcast().

This also means the @flags parameter is useless, we need to always use
GFP_ATOMIC.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
