    rxrpc: Lock around calling a kernel service Rx notification · 20acbd9a
    David Howells authored
    
    
    Place a spinlock around the invocation of call->notify_rx() for a kernel
    service call and lock again when ending the call and replace the
    notification pointer with a pointer to a dummy function.
    
    This is required because it's possible for rxrpc_notify_socket() to be
    called after the call has been ended by the kernel service if called from
    the asynchronous work function rxrpc_process_call().
    
    However, rxrpc_notify_socket() currently only holds the RCU read lock when
    invoking ->notify_rx(), which means that the afs_call struct would need to
    be disposed of by call_rcu() rather than by kfree().
    
    But we shouldn't see any notifications from a call after calling
    rxrpc_kernel_end_call(), so a lock is required in rxrpc code.
    
    Without this, we may see the call wait queue as having a corrupt spinlock:

    afs_call is in R12, plus the offset to the spinlock.
