rxrpc_local objects cannot be disposed of until all the connections that point to them have been RCU'd as a connection object holds refcount on the local endpoint it is communicating through. Currently, this can cause an assertion failure to occur when a network namespace is destroyed as there's no check that the RCU destructors for the connections have been run before we start trying to destroy local endpoints. The kernel reports: rxrpc: AF_RXRPC: Leaked local 0000000036a41bc1 {5} ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../net/rxrpc/local_object.c:439! Fix this by keeping a count of the live connections and waiting for it to go to zero at the end of rxrpc_destroy_all_connections().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
