I did not send this to the kernel Mailinglist but to Evgeniy
only. This is the bad commit I found doing git bisect:
04f482faf50535229a5a5c8d629cf963899f857c is the first bad commit

connector: convert to synchronous netlink message processing
Commits 01a16b21 (netlink: kill eff_cap from structnetlink_skb_parms)
and c53fa1ed (netlink: kill loginuid/sessionid/sid members fromstruct
netlink_skb_parms) removed some members from structnetlink_skb_parms
that depend on the current context, all netlink users are nowrequired
to do synchronous message processing.
connector however queues received messages and processes them ina work
queue, which is not valid anymore. This patch converts connectorto do
synchronous message processing by invoking the registeredcallback
handler directly from the netlink receive function.
In order to avoid invoking the callback with connector locksheld, a
reference count is added to struct cn_callback_entry, thereference
is taken when finding a matching callback entry on the device'squeue_list
and released after the callback handler has been invoked.
