Subject: [PATCH 3.16 200/366] netfilter: nf_log: don't hold nf_log_mutex
during user access
3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>
commit ce00bf07cc95a57cd20b208e02b3c2604e532ae8 upstream.
The old code would indefinitely block other users of nf_log_mutex if
a userspace access in proc_dostring() blocked e.g. due to a userfaultfd
region. Fix it by moving proc_dostring() out of the locked region.
This is a followup to commit 266d07cb1c9a ("netfilter: nf_log: fix
sleeping function called from invalid context"), which changed this code
from using rcu_read_lock() to taking nf_log_mutex.
Fixes: 266d07cb1c9a ("netfilter: nf_log: fix sleeping function calle[...]")
