[ Upstream commit ad25f5cb39872ca14bcbe00816ae65c22fe04b89 ] There's a locking issue with the per-netns list of calls in rxrpc. The pieces of code that add and remove a call from the list use write_lock() and the calls procfile uses read_lock() to access it. However, the timer callback function may trigger a removal by trying to queue a call for processing and finding that it's already queued - at which point it has a spare refcount that it has to do something with. Unfortunately, if it puts the call and this reduces the refcount to 0, the call will be removed from the list. Unfortunately, since the _bh variants of the locking functions aren't used, this can deadlock. ================================ WARNING: inconsistent lock state 5.18.0-rc3-build4+ #10 Not tainted -------------------------------- inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage. ksoftirqd/2/25 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE1:SE0] takes: ffff888107ac4038 (&rxnet->call_lock){+.?.}-{2:2}, at: rxrpc_put_call+0x103/0x14b {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at: ...

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.
