[PATCH net] rxrpc: Restore removed timer deletion

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Apr 13 2022 - 06:16:36 EST


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.
