[PATCH net-next v1 0/3] net: Avoid ehash lookup races

From: <hidden>
Date: 2025-09-15 07:04:32

From: Xuanqiang Luo <redacted>

After replacing R/W locks with RCU in commit 3ab5aee7fe84 ("net: Convert
TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls"), a race window emerged
during the switch from reqsk/sk to sk/tw.

Now that both timewait sock (tw) and full sock (sk) reside on the same ehash
chain, it is appropriate to introduce hlist_nulls replace operations, to
eliminate the race conditions caused by this window.

Xuanqiang Luo (3):
  rculist: Add __hlist_nulls_replace_rcu() and
    hlist_nulls_replace_init_rcu()
  inet: Avoid ehash lookup race in inet_ehash_insert()
  inet: Avoid ehash lookup race in inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule()
