Subject: [PATCH] mptcp: prevent race between disconnect() and rtx
Sashiko noted that the two event can race, leading to inconsistent
status. Prevent the race using the synchronous timer stop operation.

[ Upstream commit 08dfe370239e53494453cee1e2ded2cdaa1efd12 ]
sk->sk_timer has been used for TCP keepalives.
Keepalive timers are not in fast path, we want to use sk->sk_timer
storage for retransmit timers, for better cache locality.
Create icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer and change keepalive
code to no longer use sk->sk_timer.
Added space is reclaimed in the following patch.
This includes changes to MPTCP, which was also using sk_timer.
Alias icsk->mptcp_tout_timer and icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer
for inet_sk_diag_fill() sake.

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 08dfe370239e53494453cee1e2ded2cdaa1efd12 ]
sk->sk_timer has been used for TCP keepalives.
Keepalive timers are not in fast path, we want to use sk->sk_timer
storage for retransmit timers, for better cache locality.
Create icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer and change keepalive
code to no longer use sk->sk_timer.
Added space is reclaimed in the following patch.
This includes changes to MPTCP, which was also using sk_timer.
Alias icsk->mptcp_tout_timer and icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer
for inet_sk_diag_fill() sake.

To: stable; +Cc: Paolo Abeni, Matthieu Baerts (NGI0), Jakub Kicinski, Sasha Levin
From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 85c580b0d8590520ae00a15c29e9fb9c99427a3e ]
Sashiko noted that the two event can race, leading to inconsistent
status. Prevent the race using the synchronous timer stop operation.
