[PATCH 5/6] netfilter: nf_log: don't hold nf_log_mutex during user access

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Date: 2018-06-27 15:22:35
Also in: netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds 

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

The old code would indefinitely block other users of nf_log_mutex if
a userspace access in proc_dostring() blocked e.g. due to a userfaultfd
region. Fix it by moving proc_dostring() out of the locked region.

This is a followup to commit 266d07cb1c9a ("netfilter: nf_log: fix
sleeping function called from invalid context"), which changed this code
from using rcu_read_lock() to taking nf_log_mutex.

Fixes: 266d07cb1c9a ("netfilter: nf_log: fix sleeping function calle[...]")
