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()")
