David Howells 3740a6078d rxrpc: Fix NULL pointer deref due to call->conn being cleared on disconnect
[ Upstream commit 5273a191dca65a675dc0bcf3909e59c6933e2831 ]

When a call is disconnected, the connection pointer from the call is
cleared to make sure it isn't used again and to prevent further attempted
transmission for the call.  Unfortunately, there might be a daemon trying
to use it at the same time to transmit a packet.

Fix this by keeping call->conn set, but setting a flag on the call to
indicate disconnection instead.

Remove also the bits in the transmission functions where the conn pointer is
checked and a ref taken under spinlock as this is now redundant.

============

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.
