ipv4: irq safe sk_dst_[re]set() and ipv4_sk_update_pmtu() fix
We have two different ways to handle changes to sk->sk_dst First way (used by TCP) assumes socket lock is owned by caller, and use no extra lock : __sk_dst_set() & __sk_dst_reset() Another way (used by UDP) uses sk_dst_lock because socket lock is not always taken. Note that sk_dst_lock is not softirq safe. These ways are not inter changeable for a given socket type. ipv4_sk_update_pmtu(), added in linux-3.8, added a race, as it used the socket lock as synchronization, but users might be UDP sockets. Instead of converting sk_dst_lock to a softirq safe version, use xchg() as we did for sk_rx_dst in commit e47eb5df ("udp: ipv4: do not use sk_dst_lock from softirq context") In a follow up patch, we probably can remove sk_dst_lock, as it is only used in IPv6.
