Qian Cai 86b18aaa2b skbuff: fix a data race in skb_queue_len()
sk_buff.qlen can be accessed concurrently as noticed by KCSAN,

 BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __skb_try_recv_from_queue / unix_dgram_sendmsg

 read to 0xffff8a1b1d8a81c0 of 4 bytes by task 5371 on cpu 96:
  unix_dgram_sendmsg+0x9a9/0xb70 include/linux/skbuff.h:1821
				 net/unix/af_unix.c:1761
  ____sys_sendmsg+0x33e/0x370
  ___sys_sendmsg+0xa6/0xf0
  __sys_sendmsg+0x69/0xf0
  __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x51/0x70
  do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

 write to 0xffff8a1b1d8a81c0 of 4 bytes by task 1 on cpu 99:
  __skb_try_recv_from_queue+0x327/0x410 include/linux/skbuff.h:2029
  __skb_try_recv_datagram+0xbe/0x220
  unix_dgram_recvmsg+0xee/0x850
  ____sys_recvmsg+0x1fb/0x210
  ___sys_recvmsg+0xa2/0xf0
  __sys_recvmsg+0x66/0xf0
  __x64_sys_recvmsg+0x51/0x70
  do_syscall_64+0x91/0xb47
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

Since only the read is operating as lockless, it could introduce a logic
bug in unix_recvq_full() due to the load tearing. Fix it by adding
a lockless variant of skb_queue_len() and unix_recvq_full() where
READ_ONCE() is on the read while WRITE_ONCE() is on the write similar to
the commit d7d16a8935 ("net: add skb_queue_empty_lockless()").

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.
