[ Upstream commit04d36d748f] The introduction of a split between the reference count on rxrpc_local objects and the usage count didn't quite go far enough. A number of kernel work items need to make use of the socket to perform transmission. These also need to get an active count on the local object to prevent the socket from being closed. Fix this by getting the active count in those places. Also split out the raw active count get/put functions as these places tend to hold refs on the rxrpc_local object already, so getting and putting an extra object ref is just a waste of time. The problem can lead to symptoms like: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018 .. CPU: 2 PID: 818 Comm: kworker/u9:0 Not tainted 5.5.0-fscache+ #51 ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
