Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 1/3] net: tcp/dccp: prepare for tw_timer un-pinning

From: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@...hat.com>

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 e02b93124855 ("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 ec94c2696f0b ("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.

 changes:
 - use timer_shutdown_sync, ehash lock can be released
   beforehand
 - fix 'ddcp' typo in patch subject
