[PATCH net-next 08/19] rxrpc: Fix handling of connection failure in client call creation

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jun 30 2016 - 10:21:14 EST


If rxrpc_connect_call() fails during the creation of a client connection,
there are two bugs that we can hit that need fixing:

(1) The call state should be moved to RXRPC_CALL_DEAD before the call
cleanup phase is invoked. If not, this can cause an assertion failure
later.

(2) call->link should be reinitialised after being deleted in
rxrpc_new_client_call() - which otherwise leads to a failure later
when the call cleanup attempts to delete the link again.
