rxrpc: Fix potential deadlock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is a potential deadlock in rxrpc_peer_keepalive_dispatch() whereby
rxrpc_put_peer() is called with the peer_hash_lock held, but if it reduces
the peer's refcount to 0, rxrpc_put_peer() calls __rxrpc_put_peer() - which
the tries to take the already held lock.

Fix this by providing a version of rxrpc_put_peer() that can be called in
situations where the lock is already held.

The bug may produce the following lockdep report:
