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.

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.
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.
