From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ee3b0826b4764f6c13ad6db67495c5a1c38e9025 ] A recent patch[1] from Eric Dumazet flipped the order in which the keepalive timer and the keepalive worker were cancelled in order to fix a syzbot reported issue[2]. Unfortunately, this enables the mirror image bug whereby the timer races with rxrpc_exit_net(), restarting the worker after it has been cancelled: CPU 1 CPU 2 =============== ===================== if (rxnet->live) <INTERRUPT> rxnet->live = false; cancel_work_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work); rxrpc_queue_work(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work); del_timer_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer); Fix this by restoring the removed del_timer_sync() so that we try to remove the timer twice. If the timer runs again, it should see ->live == false and not restart the worker.
