[ Upstream commitb13023421b] In rxrpc_destroy_all_calls(), there are two phases: (1) make sure the ->calls list is empty, emitting error messages if not, and (2) wait for the RCU cleanup to happen on outstanding calls (ie. ->nr_calls becomes 0). To avoid taking the call_lock, the function prechecks ->calls and if empty, it returns to avoid taking the lock - this is wrong, however: it still needs to go and do the second phase and wait for ->nr_calls to become 0. Without this, the rxrpc_net struct may get deallocated before we get to the RCU cleanup for the last calls. This can lead to: Slab corruption (Not tainted): kmalloc-16k start=ffff88802b178000, len=16384 050: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 61 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkakkkkkkk Note the "61" at offset 0x58. This corresponds to the ->nr_calls member of struct rxrpc_net (which is >9k in size, and thus allocated out of the 16k slab). Fix this by flipping the condition on the if-statement, putting the locked section inside the if-body and dropping the return from there. The function will then always go on to wait for the RCU cleanup on outstanding calls.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
