My prior fix went a bit too far, according to Herbert and Mathieu.
Since we accept that concurrent TCP MD5 lookups might see inconsistent
keys, we can use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() instead of smp_rmb()/smp_wmb()
Clearing all key->key[] is needed to avoid possible KMSAN reports,
if key->keylen is increased. Since tcp_md5_do_add() is not fast path,
using __GFP_ZERO to clear all struct tcp_md5sig_key is simpler.
data_race() was added in linux-5.8 and will prevent KCSAN reports,
this can safely be removed in stable backports, if data_race() is
not yet backported.
v2: use data_race() both in tcp_md5_hash_key() and tcp_md5_do_add()

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
