rxrpc: Fixes
Here are a couple of bugfixes plus a patch that makes one of the bugfixes
easier:
(1) Move the ping and mutex unlock on a new call from rxrpc_input_packet()
into rxrpc_new_incoming_call(), which it calls. This means the
lock-unlock section is entirely within the latter function. This
simplifies patch (2).
(2) Don't take the call->user_mutex at all in the softirq path. Mutexes
aren't allowed to be taken or released there and a patch was merged
that caused a warning to be emitted every time this happened. Looking
at the code again, it looks like that taking the mutex isn't actually
necessary, as the value of call->state will block access to the call.
(3) Fix the incoming call path to check incoming calls earlier to reject
calls to RPC services for which we don't have a security key of the
appropriate class. This avoids an assertion failure if YFS tries
making a secure call to the kafs cache manager RPC service.

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.
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.
