Linux kernel source tree
0099dc589b
Make the following changes to improve the robustness of the code that sets
up a new service call:
(1) Cache the rxrpc_sock struct obtained in rxrpc_data_ready() to do a
service ID check and pass that along to rxrpc_new_incoming_call().
This means that I can remove the check from rxrpc_new_incoming_call()
without the need to worry about the socket attached to the local
endpoint getting replaced - which would invalidate the check.
(2) Cache the rxrpc_peer struct, thereby allowing the peer search to be
done once. The peer is passed to rxrpc_new_incoming_call(), thereby
saving the need to repeat the search.
This also reduces the possibility of rxrpc_publish_service_conn()
BUG()'ing due to the detection of a duplicate connection, despite the
initial search done by rxrpc_find_connection_rcu() having turned up
nothing.
This BUG() shouldn't ever get hit since rxrpc_data_ready() *should* be
non-reentrant and the result of the initial search should still hold
true, but it has proven possible to hit.
I *think* this may be due to __rxrpc_lookup_peer_rcu() cutting short
the iteration over the hash table if it finds a matching peer with a
zero usage count, but I don't know for sure since it's only ever been
hit once that I know of.
Another possibility is that a bug in rxrpc_data_ready() that checked
the wrong byte in the header for the RXRPC_CLIENT_INITIATED flag
might've let through a packet that caused a spurious and invalid call
to be set up. That is addressed in another patch.
(3) Fix __rxrpc_lookup_peer_rcu() to skip peer records that have a zero
usage count rather than stopping and returning not found, just in case
there's another peer record behind it in the bucket.
(4) Don't search the peer records in rxrpc_alloc_incoming_call(), but
rather either use the peer cached in (2) or, if one wasn't found,
preemptively install a new one.

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.
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.
