Hi Soumya,

I tested the lastes patch [2] on master where your previous patch [1] in merged.
I see crashes at different places.

1. If there are code paths that are holding rpc object without taking ref on it, all those
   code path will crash on invoking rpc submit on that object as rpc object would have freed
   by last unref on DISCONNECT event. I see this kind of use-case in chagnelog rpc code. 
   Need to check on other users of rpc.
   
2. And also we need to take care of reconnect timers that are being set and are re-tried to
   connect back on expiration. In those cases also, we might crash as rpc object would have freed.

Thanks and Regards,
Kotresh H R
