Jakub Kicinski 38f3cd3703 Merge branch 'net-avoid-ehash-lookup-races' 
Xuanqiang Luo says:

====================
net: Avoid ehash lookup races

After replacing R/W locks with RCU in commit 3ab5aee7fe ("net: Convert
TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls"), a race window emerged
during the switch from reqsk/sk to sk/tw.

Now that both timewait sock (tw) and full sock (sk) reside on the same
ehash chain, it is appropriate to introduce hlist_nulls replace
operations, to eliminate the race conditions caused by this window.

Before this series of patches, I previously sent another version of the
patch, attempting to avoid the issue using a lock mechanism. However, it
seems there are some problems with that approach now, so I've switched to
the "replace" method in the current patches to resolve the issue.
For details, refer to:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20250903024406.2418362-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev/

Before I encountered this type of issue recently, I found there had been
several historical discussions about it. Therefore, I'm adding this
background information for those interested to reference:

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
