====================
inet_diag: remove three mutexes in diag dumps
Surprisingly, inet_diag operations are serialized over a stack
of three mutexes, giving legacy /proc based files an unfair
advantage on modern hosts.
This series removes all of them, making inet_diag operations
(eg iproute2/ss) fully parallel.
1-2) Two first patches are adding data-race annotations
and can be backported to stable kernels.
3-4) inet_diag_table_mutex can be replaced with RCU protection,
if we add corresponding protection against module unload.
5-7) sock_diag_table_mutex can be replaced with RCU protection,
if we add corresponding protection against module unload.
8) sock_diag_mutex is removed, as the old bug it was
working around has been fixed more elegantly.
9) inet_diag_dump_icsk() can skip over empty buckets to reduce
spinlock contention.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
