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.

Note : I think you sent an earlier version, you should have added a
link to the discussion,
and past feedback/suggestions.

Lack of credit is a bit annoying frankly.

I will take a look at your series, thanks.
This patch's solution isn't very related to previous ones, so I didn't
include prior discussions.

But to help others get the full picture, I'll share past links and
earlier discussions related to this type of issue in the next version
or a reply. Sorry for any oversight.

Thanks
Xuanqiang.
