Commit 227b60f5102cd added a seqlock to ensure that the low and high port numbers were always updated together. This is overkill because the two 16bit port numbers can be held in a u32 and read/written in a single instruction. More recently 91d0b78c5177f added support for finer per-socket limits. The user-supplied value is 'high << 16 | low' but they are held separately and the socket options protected by the socket lock. Use a u32 containing 'high << 16 | low' for both the 'net' and 'sk' fields and use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to ensure both values are always updated together. Change (the now trival) inet_get_local_port_range() to a static inline to optimise the calling code. (In particular avoiding returning integers by reference.)

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.
