Michal Kubecek and Firo Yang did a very nice analysis of crashes happening in __inet_lookup_established().
Since a TCP socket can go from TCP_ESTABLISH to TCP_LISTEN (via a close()/socket()/listen() cycle) without a RCU grace period, I should not have changed listeners linkage in their hash table.
They must use the nulls protocol (Documentation/RCU/rculist_nulls.txt), so that a lookup can detect a socket in a hash list was moved in another one.
Since we added code in commit d296ba60d8e2 ("soreuseport: Resolve merge conflict for v4/v6 ordering fix"), we have to add hlist_nulls_add_tail_rcu() helper.
The kernel panic reported on all devices, While running LTP syscalls accept* test cases on stable-rc-4.19 branch kernel. This report log extracted from qemu_x86_64.
Reverting this patch re-solved kernel crash.
I'll drop it until we can look into what's happening here, thanks!
