[ Upstream commit2fd895842d] When a call is released, rxrpc takes the spinlock and removes it from ->recvmsg_q in an effort to prevent racing recvmsg() invocations from seeing the same call. Now, rxrpc_recvmsg() only takes the spinlock when actually removing a call from the queue; it doesn't, however, take it in the lead up to that when it checks to see if the queue is empty. It *does* hold the socket lock, which prevents a recvmsg/recvmsg race - but this doesn't prevent sendmsg from ending the call because sendmsg() drops the socket lock and relies on the call->user_mutex. Fix this by firstly removing the bit in rxrpc_release_call() that dequeues the released call and, instead, rely on recvmsg() to simply discard released calls (done in a preceding fix). Secondly, rxrpc_notify_socket() is abandoned if the call is already marked as released rather than trying to be clever by setting both pointers in call->recvmsg_link to NULL to trick list_empty(). This isn't perfect and can still race, resulting in a released call on the queue, but recvmsg() will now clean that up.

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.
