[PATCH 5.19 0367/1157] ping: convert to RCU lookups, get rid of rwlock

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dbca1596bbb08318f5e3b3b99f8ca0a0d3830a65 ]

Using rwlock in networking code is extremely risky.
writers can starve if enough readers are constantly
grabing the rwlock.

I thought rwlock were at fault and sent this patch:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/6/17/272

But Peter and Linus essentially told me rwlock had to be unfair.

We need to get rid of rwlock in networking code.

Fixes: c319b4d76b9e ("net: ipv4: add IPPROTO_ICMP socket kind")
