[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: defer cgroups init to accept()

After TCP 3WHS became lockless, we should not attempt cgroup games from sk_clone_lock() since listener/cgroup might be already gone. Move this business to inet_csk_accept() where we have the guarantee both parent and child exist. Many thanks to John Sperbeck for spotting these issues Eric

[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: defer call to cgroup_sk_alloc()

sk_clone_lock() might run while TCP/DCCP listener already vanished. In order to prevent use after free, it is better to defer cgroup_sk_alloc() to the point we know both parent and child exist, and from process context. Fixes: e994b2f0fb92 ("tcp: do not lock listener to process SYN packets")

[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: memcontrol: defer call to mem_cgroup_sk_alloc()

Instead of calling mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() from BH context, it is better to call it from inet_csk_accept() in process context. Not only this removes code in mem_cgroup_sk_alloc(), but it also fixes a bug since listener might have been dismantled and css_get() might cause a use-after-free. Fixes:

[PATCH v3] lib: fix multiple strlcpy definition

Some C libraries, like uClibc and musl, provide BSD compatible strlcpy(). Add check_strlcpy() to configure, and avoid defining strlcpy and strlcat when the C library provides them. This fixes the following static link error with uClibc-ng: .../sysroot/usr/lib/libc.a(strlcpy.os): In function
