Subject: [PATCH 3.16 234/410] netfilter: drop outermost socket lock in
 getsockopt()

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>

commit 01ea306f2ac2baff98d472da719193e738759d93 upstream.

The Syzbot reported a possible deadlock in the netfilter area caused by
rtnl lock, xt lock and socket lock being acquired with a different order
on different code paths, leading to the following backtrace:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
4.15.0+ #301 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syzkaller233489/4179 is trying to acquire lock:
  (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<0000000048e996fd>] rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20
net/core/rtnetlink.c:74

but task is already holding lock:
  (&xt[i].mutex){+.+.}, at: [<00000000328553a2>]
xt_find_table_lock+0x3e/0x3e0 net/netfilter/x_tables.c:1041

which lock already depends on the new lock.
===

Since commit 3f34cfae1230 ("netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock
only in the required scope"), we already acquire the socket lock in
the innermost scope, where needed. In such commit I forgot to remove
the outer-most socket lock from the getsockopt() path, this commit
addresses the issues dropping it now.

v1 -> v2: fix bad subj, added relavant 'fixes' tag

Fixes: 22265a5c3c10 ("netfilter: xt_TEE: resolve oif using netdevice notifiers")
Fixes: 202f59afd441 ("netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: do not hold dev")
Fixes: 3f34cfae1230 ("netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock only in the required scope")
