<title>net: remove sock_i_uid()</title>

<id>c51da3f7a161c6822232be832abdffe47eb55b4c</id>
<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.

sk-&gt;sk_uid can be read while another thread changes its
value in sockfs_setattr().

Add sk_uid(const struct sock *sk) helper to factorize the needed
READ_ONCE() annotations, and add corresponding WRITE_ONCE()
where needed.

Various inet fields are currently racy.

do_ip_setsockopt() and do_ip_getsockopt() are mostly holding
the socket lock, but some (fast) paths do not.

Use a new inet-&gt;inet_flags to hold atomic bits in the series.

Remove inet-&gt;cmsg_flags, and use instead 9 bits from inet_flags.
