[ Upstream commit b334b92 ]
The TCP timewait timer is proving to be problematic for setups where
scheduler CPU isolation is achieved at runtime via cpusets (as opposed to
statically via isolcpus=domains).
What happens there is a CPU goes through tcp_time_wait(), arming the
time_wait timer, then gets isolated. TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN later, the timer
fires, causing interference for the now-isolated CPU. This is conceptually
similar to the issue described in commit e02b931 ("workqueue: Unbind
kworkers before sending them to exit()")
Move inet_twsk_schedule() to within inet_twsk_hashdance(), with the ehash
lock held. Expand the lock's critical section from inet_twsk_kill() to
inet_twsk_deschedule_put(), serializing the scheduling vs descheduling of
the timer. IOW, this prevents the following race:
tcp_time_wait()
inet_twsk_hashdance()
inet_twsk_deschedule_put()
del_timer_sync()
inet_twsk_schedule()
Thanks to Paolo Abeni for suggesting to leverage the ehash lock.
This also restores a comment from commit ec94c26 ("tcp/dccp: avoid
one atomic operation for timewait hashdance") as inet_twsk_hashdance() had
a "Step 1" and "Step 3" comment, but the "Step 2" had gone missing.
inet_twsk_deschedule_put() now acquires the ehash spinlock to synchronize
with inet_twsk_hashdance_schedule().
To ease possible regression search, actual un-pin is done in next patch.
