Kirill Tkhai 11bf284f81 net: Protect iterations over net::fib_notifier_ops in fib_seq_sum()
There is at least unlocked deletion of net->ipv4.fib_notifier_ops
from net::fib_notifier_ops:

ip_fib_net_exit()
  rtnl_unlock()
  fib4_notifier_exit()
    fib_notifier_ops_unregister(net->ipv4.notifier_ops)
      list_del_rcu(&ops->list)

So fib_seq_sum() can't use rtnl_lock() only for protection.

The possible solution could be to use rtnl_lock()
in fib_notifier_ops_unregister(), but this adds
a possible delay during net namespace creation,
so we better use rcu_read_lock() till someone
really needs the mutex (if that happens).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
