commit b6a37e5e25414df4b8e9140a5c6f5ee0ec6f3b90 upstream.

syzbot/KMSAN reported that p-&gt;dtime was read while it was
not yet initialized in :

	delta = (__u32)jiffies - p-&gt;dtime;
	if (delta &lt; ttl || !refcount_dec_if_one(&amp;p-&gt;refcnt))
		gc_stack[i] = NULL;

This is a false positive, because the inetpeer wont be erased
from rb-tree if the refcount_dec_if_one(&amp;p-&gt;refcnt) does not
succeed. And this wont happen before first inet_putpeer() call
for this inetpeer has been done, and -&gt;dtime field is written
exactly before the refcount_dec_and_test(&amp;p-&gt;refcnt).

The KMSAN report was :

As measured in my prior patch ("sch_netem: faster rb tree removal"),
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() is nice looking but much slower
than using rb_next() directly, except when tree is small enough
to fit in CPU caches (then the cost is the same)

Excess of seafood or something happened while I cooked the commit
adding RB tree to inetpeer.

Of course, RCU rules need to be respected or bad things can happen.

In this particular loop, we need to read *pp once per iteration, not
twice.

As discussed in Faro during Netfilter Workshop 2017, RB trees can be
used with RCU, using a seqlock.

Note that net/rxrpc/conn_service.c is already using this.

This patch converts inetpeer from AVL tree to RB tree, since it allows
to remove private AVL implementation in favor of shared RB code.

As discussed in Faro during Netfilter Workshop 2017, RB trees can be
used with RCU, using a seqlock.

Note that net/rxrpc/conn_service.c is already using this.

This patch converts inetpeer from AVL tree to RB tree, since it allows
to remove private AVL implementation in favor of shared RB code.

<title>net: convert inet_peer.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t</title>

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.
This conversion requires overall +1 on the whole
refcounting scheme.

<title>inet: remove dead inetpeer sequence code</title>

inetpeer sequence numbers are no longer incremented, so no need to
check and flush the tree. The function that increments the sequence
number was already dead code and removed in in "ipv4: remove unused
function" (068a6e18). Remove the code that checks for a change, too.

Verifying that v4_seq and v6_seq are never incremented and thus that
flush_check compares bp-&gt;flush_seq to 0 is trivial.

The second part of the change removes flush_check completely even
though bp-&gt;flush_seq is exactly !0 once, at initialization. This
change is correct because the time this branch is true is when
bp-&gt;root == peer_avl_empty_rcu, in which the branch and
inetpeer_invalidate_tree are a NOOP.
