[PATCH net v2 04/10] afs: Fix further netns teardown to cancel the preallocation charger
From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 09:54:09 EST
When an afs network namespace is torn down, it cancels and waits for the
work item that keeps the preallocated rxrpc call/conn/peer queue charged
before disabling incoming (i.e. listen 0), but there's a small window in
which it can be requeued by an incoming call wending through the I/O
thread.
Fix this by flushing the workqueue on which the charger runs after reducing
the listen backlog to zero.
