[PATCH] Fix inet_diag.ko register vs rcv race

[Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>]

The following race is possible when one cpu unregisters the handler
while other one is trying to receive a message and call this one:

CPU1:                                                 CPU2:
inet_diag_rcv()                                       inet_diag_unregister()
  mutex_lock(&inet_diag_mutex);
  netlink_rcv_skb(skb, &inet_diag_rcv_msg);
    if (inet_diag_table[nlh->nlmsg_type] == 
                               NULL) /* false handler is still registered */
    ...
    netlink_dump_start(idiagnl, skb, nlh,
                           inet_diag_dump, NULL);
           cb = kzalloc(sizeof(*cb), GFP_KERNEL);
                   /* sleep here freeing memory 
                    * or preempt
                    * or sleep later on nlk->cb_mutex
                    */
                                                         spin_lock(&inet_diag_register_lock);
                                                         inet_diag_table[type] = NULL;
    ...                                                  spin_unlock(&inet_diag_register_lock);
                                                         synchronize_rcu();
                                                         /* CPU1 is sleeping - RCU quiescent
                                                          * state is passed
                                                          */
                                                         return;
    /* inet_diag_dump is finally called: */
    inet_diag_dump()
      handler = inet_diag_table[cb->nlh->nlmsg_type];
      BUG_ON(handler == NULL); 
      /* OOPS! While we slept the unregister has set
       * handler to NULL :(
       */

Grep showed, that the register/unregister functions are called
from init/fini module callbacks for tcp_/dccp_diag, so it's OK
to use the inet_diag_mutex to synchronize manipulations with the
inet_diag_table and the access to it.
