The recent patch that substituted a flag on an rxrpc_call for the connection pointer being NULL as an indication that a call was disconnected puts the set_bit in the wrong place for service calls. This is only a problem if a call is implicitly terminated by a new call coming in on the same connection channel instead of a terminating ACK packet. In such a case, rxrpc_input_implicit_end_call() calls __rxrpc_disconnect_call(), which is now (incorrectly) setting the disconnection bit, meaning that when rxrpc_release_call() is later called, it doesn't call rxrpc_disconnect_call() and so the call isn't removed from the peer's error distribution list and the list gets corrupted. KASAN finds the issue as an access after release on a call, but the position at which it occurs is confusing as it appears to be related to a different call (the call site is where the latter call is being removed from the error distribution list and either the next or pprev pointer points to a previously released call). Fix this by moving the setting of the flag from __rxrpc_disconnect_call() to rxrpc_disconnect_call() in the same place that the connection pointer was being cleared.

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.
