[ Upstream commit 63346650c1a94a92be61a57416ac88c0a47c4327 ]

sk_reset_timer() and sk_stop_timer() properly handle
sock refcnt for timer function. Switching to them
could fix a refcounting bug reported by syzbot.

[ Upstream commit 7314f5480f3e37e570104dc5e0f28823ef849e72 ]

nr_find_socket(), nr_find_peer() and nr_find_listener() lock the
sock after finding it in the global list. However, the call path
requires BH disabled for the sock lock consistently.

Actually the locking is unnecessary at this point, we can just hold
the sock refcnt to make sure it is not gone after we unlock the global
list, and lock it later only when needed.

a kernel socket from sock_create_kern through to sk_alloc.

Now that there are no more users kill dev_rebuild_header and all of it's

This is long overdue.

<title>net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg</title>

<content type='text'>
After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.

<title>net: Add and use skb_copy_datagram_msg() helper.</title>

<id>51f3d02b980a338cd291d2bc7629cdfb2568424b</id>
<content type='text'>
This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr-&gt;msg_iov, length".

When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
sit in the msghdr.

Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
during that transformation.

Based upon descriptions and patch from Al Viro.
