[PATCH 5.3 114/140] net/smc: fix refcounting for non-blocking connect()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Nov 08 2019 - 14:11:20 EST


From: Ursula Braun <ubraun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 301428ea3708188dc4a243e6e6b46c03b46a0fbc ]

If a nonblocking socket is immediately closed after connect(),
the connect worker may not have started. This results in a refcount
problem, since sock_hold() is called from the connect worker.
This patch moves the sock_hold in front of the connect worker
scheduling.
