6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>
commit e66f8f32f50116670dbbee5bc9e692cd2cd0c8f8 upstream.
There's a race between rxrpc_recvmsg() and rxrpc_notify_socket(), whereby
the latter's attempt to avoid disabling interrupts and taking the socket's
recvmsg_lock if the call is already queued may happen simultaneously with
the former's discarding of a call that has nothing queued.
Fix this by removing the shortcut. Note that this only affects userspace's
use of AF_RXRPC; the AFS filesystem driver doesn't use the socket queue.
Fixes: 248f219cb8bc ("rxrpc: Rewrite the data and ack handling code")
