Chuck Lever 91ca18660e xprtrdma: xprt_release_rqst_cong is called outside of transport_lock
Since commit ce7c252a8c ("SUNRPC: Add a separate spinlock to
protect the RPC request receive list") the RPC/RDMA reply handler
has been calling xprt_release_rqst_cong without holding
xprt->transport_lock.

I think the only way this call is ever made is if the credit grant
increases and there are RPCs pending. Current server implementations
do not change their credit grant during operation (except at
connect time).

Commit e7ce710a88 ("xprtrdma: Avoid deadlock when credit window is
reset") added the ->release_rqst call because UDP invokes
xprt_adjust_cwnd(), which calls __xprt_put_cong() after adjusting
xprt->cwnd. Both xprt_release() and ->xprt_release_xprt already wake
another task in this case, so it is safe to remove this call from
the reply handler.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
