[ Upstream commit 948f072ada23e0a504c5e4d7d71d4c83bd0785ec ]
Since the ->xprt_ctxt pointer was added to svc_deferred_req, it has not
been sufficient to use kfree() to free a deferred request. We may need
to free the ctxt as well.
As freeing the ctxt is all that ->xpo_release_rqst() does, we repurpose
it to explicit do that even when the ctxt is not stored in an rqst.
So we now have ->xpo_release_ctxt() which is given an xprt and a ctxt,
which may have been taken either from an rqst or from a dreq. The
caller is now responsible for clearing that pointer after the call to
->xpo_release_ctxt.
We also clear dr->xprt_ctxt when the ctxt is moved into a new rqst when
revisiting a deferred request. This ensures there is only one pointer
to the ctxt, so the risk of double freeing in future is reduced. The
new code in svc_xprt_release which releases both the ctxt and any
rq_deferred depends on this.

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.
