5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>
commit 2daf8ac812c3d78c642fe7652f62e29df5e3da20 upstream.
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 cancelling the charger work item again after reducing the
listen backlog to zero.
