Paolo Abeni 3f34cfae12 netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock only in the required scope
Syzbot reported several deadlocks in the netfilter area caused by
rtnl lock and socket lock being acquired with a different order on
different code paths, leading to backtraces like the following one:

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
4.15.0-rc9+ #212 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syzkaller041579/3682 is trying to acquire lock:

  (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<000000004342eaa9>] rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(rtnl_mutex);
                                lock(sk_lock-AF_INET6);
                                lock(rtnl_mutex);
   lock(sk_lock-AF_INET6);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

1 lock held by syzkaller041579/3682:
  #0:  (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<000000004342eaa9>] rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20
net/core/rtnetlink.c:74

The problem, as Florian noted, is that nf_setsockopt() is always
called with the socket held, even if the lock itself is required only
for very tight scopes and only for some operation.

This patch addresses the issues moving the lock_sock() call only
where really needed, namely in ipv*_getorigdst(), so that nf_setsockopt()
does not need anymore to acquire both locks.

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.
