6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Douya Le <ldy3087146292 at gmail.com>
commit 6331f1b24a3e85465f6454e003a3e6c22005a5c5 upstream.
rxrpc_input_packet_on_conn() can process a to-client packet after the
current client call on the channel has already been torn down. In that
case chan->call is NULL, rxrpc_try_get_call() returns NULL and there is
no reference to drop.
The client-side implicit-end error path does not account for that and
unconditionally calls rxrpc_put_call(). This turns a protocol error
path into a kernel crash instead of rejecting the packet.
Only drop the call reference if one was actually acquired. Keep the
existing protocol error handling unchanged.
Fixes: 5e6ef4f1017c ("rxrpc: Make the I/O thread take over the call and local processor work")
