Hi Jonathan

Nice catch, but this patch is not correct.

We need to make  inet_diag_dump_icsk() more robust, otherwise we would have to
change other points in the stack (not only for TIMEWAIT sockets), and
that is a bit too risky
in term of locking dependencies.

Please try the following fix instead :

Fixes: 67db3e4bfbc9 ("tcp: no longer hold ehash lock while calling
tcp_get_info()")
