Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rxrpc: Fix potential data race in rxrpc_wait_to_be_connected()

Inside the loop in rxrpc_wait_to_be_connected() it checks call->error to
see if it should exit the loop without first checking the call state.  This
is probably safe as if call->error is set, the call is dead anyway, but we
should probably wait for the call state to have been set to completion
first, lest it cause surprise on the way out.

Fix this by only accessing call->error if the call is complete.  We don't
actually need to access the error inside the loop as we'll do that after.

This caused the following report:

    BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rxrpc_send_data / rxrpc_set_call_completion

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
