From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8c70521238b7863c2af607e20bcba20f974c969b ] challenge_timestamp can be read an written by concurrent threads. This was expected, but we need to annotate the race to avoid potential issues. Following patch moves challenge_timestamp and challenge_count to per-netns storage to provide better isolation.
