Andrei Vagin reported that blamed commit broke CRIU.

Indeed, while we want to keep sk_uid unchanged when a socket
is cloned, we want to clear sk-&gt;sk_ino.

Otherwise, sock_diag might report multiple sockets sharing
the same inode number.

Move the clearing part from sock_orphan() to sk_set_socket(sk, NULL),
called both from sock_orphan() and sk_clone_lock().

Fixes: 5d6b58c932ec ("net: lockless sock_i_ino()")

<content type='text'>
Followup of commit c51da3f7a161 ("net: remove sock_i_uid()")

A recent syzbot report was the trigger for this change.

Over the years, we had many problems caused by the
read_lock[_bh](&amp;sk-&gt;sk_callback_lock) in sock_i_uid().

We could fix smc_diag_dump_proto() or make a more radical move:

Instead of waiting for new syzbot reports, cache the socket
inode number in sk-&gt;sk_ino, so that we no longer
need to acquire sk-&gt;sk_callback_lock in sock_i_ino().

This makes socket dumps faster (one less cache line miss,
and two atomic ops avoided).

Prior art:

commit 25a9c8a4431c ("netlink: Add __sock_i_ino() for __netlink_diag_dump().")
commit 4f9bf2a2f5aa ("tcp: Don't acquire inet_listen_hashbucket::lock with disabled BH.")
commit efc3dbc37412 ("rds: Make rds_sock_lock BH rather than IRQ safe.")

Fixes: d2d6422f8bd1 ("x86: Allow to enable PREEMPT_RT.")

sk-&gt;sk_{rcv|snd}timeo").

Remove lock_sock()/release_sock() from ksmbd_tcp_rcv_timeout()
and add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() where it is needed.

Also SO_RCVTIMEO_OLD and SO_RCVTIMEO_NEW can call sock_set_timeout()
without holding the socket lock.

<content type='text'>
Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that
after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID
while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk-&gt;sk_uid value.

None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this.

Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined.

Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and
can not see the full benefit yet.
