David Howells 743d1768a0 rxrpc: Fix I/O thread stop
The rxrpc I/O thread checks to see if there's any work it needs to do, and
if not, checks kthread_should_stop() before scheduling, and if it should
stop, breaks out of the loop and tries to clean up and exit.

This can, however, race with socket destruction, wherein outstanding calls
are aborted and released from the socket and then the socket unuses the
local endpoint, causing kthread_stop() to be issued.  The abort is deferred
to the I/O thread and the event can by issued between the I/O thread
checking if there's any work to be done (such as processing call aborts)
and the stop being seen.

This results in the I/O thread stopping processing of events whilst call
cleanup events are still outstanding, leading to connections or other
objects still being around and uncleaned up, which can result in assertions
being triggered, e.g.:

    rxrpc: AF_RXRPC: Leaked client conn 00000000e8009865 {2}
    ------------[ cut here ]------------
    kernel BUG at net/rxrpc/conn_client.c:64!

Fix this by retrieving the kthread_should_stop() indication, then checking
to see if there's more work to do, and going back round the loop if there
is, and breaking out of the loop only if there wasn't.

This was triggered by a syzbot test that produced some other symptom[1].

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.
