rds: cancel send/recv work before queuing connection shutdown
We could end up executing rds_conn_shutdown before the rds_recv_worker thread, then rds_conn_shutdown -> rds_tcp_conn_shutdown can do a sock_release and set sock->sk to null, which may interleave in bad ways with rds_recv_worker, e.g., it could result in: "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000078" [ffff881769f6fd70] release_sock at ffffffff815f337b [ffff881769f6fd90] rds_tcp_recv at ffffffffa043c888 [rds_tcp] [ffff881769f6fdb0] rds_recv_worker at ffffffffa04a4810 [rds] [ffff881769f6fde0] process_one_work at ffffffff810a14c1 [ffff881769f6fe40] worker_thread at ffffffff810a1940 [ffff881769f6fec0] kthread at ffffffff810a6b1e Also, do not enqueue any new shutdown workq items when the connection is shutting down (this may happen for rds-tcp in softirq mode, if a FIN or CLOSE is received while the modules is in the middle of an unload) Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
