From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> commit 3848e96edf4788f772d83990022fa7023a233d83 upstream. xprt_destory() claims XPRT_LOCKED and then calls del_timer_sync(). Both xprt_unlock_connect() and xprt_release() call ->release_xprt() which drops XPRT_LOCKED and *then* xprt_schedule_autodisconnect() which calls mod_timer(). This may result in mod_timer() being called *after* del_timer_sync(). When this happens, the timer may fire long after the xprt has been freed, and run_timer_softirq() will probably crash. The pairing of ->release_xprt() and xprt_schedule_autodisconnect() is always called under ->transport_lock. So if we take ->transport_lock to call del_timer_sync(), we can be sure that mod_timer() will run first (if it runs at all).
