An incoming call can race with rxrpc socket destruction, leading to a leaked call. This may result in an oops when the call timer eventually expires: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000874 RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x2a/0x50 Call Trace: <IRQ> try_to_wake_up+0x59/0x550 ? __local_bh_enable_ip+0x37/0x80 ? rxrpc_poke_call+0x52/0x110 [rxrpc] ? rxrpc_poke_call+0x110/0x110 [rxrpc] ? rxrpc_poke_call+0x110/0x110 [rxrpc] call_timer_fn+0x24/0x120 with a warning in the kernel log looking something like: rxrpc: Call 00000000ba5e571a still in use (1,SvAwtACK,1061d,0)! incurred during rmmod of rxrpc. The 1061d is the call flags: RECVMSG_READ_ALL, RX_HEARD, BEGAN_RX_TIMER, RX_LAST, EXPOSED, IS_SERVICE, RELEASED but no DISCONNECTED flag (0x800), so it's an incoming (service) call and it's still connected. The race appears to be that: (1) rxrpc_new_incoming_call() consults the service struct, checks sk_state and allocates a call - then pauses, possibly for an interrupt. (2) rxrpc_release_sock() sets RXRPC_CLOSE, nulls the service pointer, discards the prealloc and releases all calls attached to the socket. (3) rxrpc_new_incoming_call() resumes, launching the new call, including its timer and attaching it to the socket. Fix this by read-locking local->services_lock to access the AF_RXRPC socket providing the service rather than RCU in rxrpc_new_incoming_call(). There's no real need to use RCU here as local->services_lock is only write-locked by the socket side in two places: when binding and when shutting down.

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.
