Subject: SUNRPC: Fix a potential race in rpc_execute
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a76580fbf09e6e19c2040c08969af5137e064eda;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

SUNRPC: Fix a potential race in rpc_execute

If the rpc_task is asynchronous, it could theoretically finish executing
on the workqueue it was assigned by rpc_make_runnable() before we get
round to testing RPC_IS_ASYNC() in rpc_execute.

In practice, however, all the existing callers hold a reference to the
rpc_task, so this can't happen today...
