[PATCH net 2/4] rxrpc: Fix sendmsg to not return an error if last packet queued

From: David Howells

Date: Thu Jul 02 2026 - 11:07:12 EST


Fix AF_RXRPC sendmsg() so that it doesn't return an error if it has
successfully queued the last packet of a call, but the call has seen to
have completed after it did that. Rather, leave it to recvmsg() to report
the completion (which it will do anyway).

The problem with trying to report the error twice is that the caller may
try to clean up the dead call twice.

Fixes: d41b3f5b9688 ("rxrpc: Wrap accesses to get call state to put the barrier in one place")
