[PATCH net] rxrpc: Fix potential race in error handling in afs_make_call()

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Apr 21 2023 - 18:04:51 EST



If the rxrpc call set up by afs_make_call() receives an error whilst it is
transmitting the request, there's the possibility that it may get to the
point the rxrpc call is ended (after the error_kill_call label) just as the
call is queued for async processing.

This could manifest itself as call->rxcall being seen as NULL in
afs_deliver_to_call() when it tries to lock the call.

Fix this by splitting rxrpc_kernel_end_call() into a function to shut down
an rxrpc call and a function to release the caller's reference and calling
the latter only when we get to afs_put_call().
