Note that this conflicts with my patch: rxrpc: Don't hold a ref for connection workqueue https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit/?h=rxrpc-next&id=450b00011290660127c2d76f5c5ed264126eb229 which should render it unnecessary. It's a little ahead of yours in the net-next queue, if that means anything. David
