5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 56440d7ec28d60f8da3bfa09062b3368ff9b16db ]
While running net selftests with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y I saw
one lockdep splat [1].
genlmsg_mcast() uses for_each_net_rcu(), and must therefore hold RCU.
Instead of letting all callers guard genlmsg_multicast_allns()
with a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair, do it in genlmsg_mcast().
This also means the @flags parameter is useless, we need to always use
GFP_ATOMIC.
