commit f2764bd4f6a8dffaec3e220728385d9756b3c2cb upstream.
When I added support to allow generic netlink multicast groups to be
restricted to subscribers with CAP_NET_ADMIN I was unaware that a
genl_bind implementation already existed in the past.
It was reverted due to ABBA deadlock:
1. ->netlink_bind gets called with the table lock held.
2. genetlink bind callback is invoked, it grabs the genl lock.
But when a new genl subsystem is (un)registered, these two locks are
taken in reverse order.
One solution would be to revert again and add a comment in genl
referring 1e82a62fec613, "genetlink: remove genl_bind").
This would need a second change in mptcp to not expose the raw token
value anymore, e.g. by hashing the token with a secret key so userspace
can still associate subflow events with the correct mptcp connection.
However, Paolo Abeni reminded me to double-check why the netlink table is
locked in the first place.
I can't find one. netlink_bind() is already called without this lock
when userspace joins a group via NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP setsockopt.
Same holds for the netlink_unbind operation.

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.
