> 
> Here are a couple of bugfixes plus a patch that makes one of the bugfixes
> easier:
> 
>  (1) Move the ping and mutex unlock on a new call from rxrpc_input_packet()
>      into rxrpc_new_incoming_call(), which it calls.  This means the
>      lock-unlock section is entirely within the latter function.  This
>      simplifies patch (2).
> 
>  (2) Don't take the call->user_mutex at all in the softirq path.  Mutexes
>      aren't allowed to be taken or released there and a patch was merged
>      that caused a warning to be emitted every time this happened.  Looking
>      at the code again, it looks like that taking the mutex isn't actually
>      necessary, as the value of call->state will block access to the call.
> 
>  (3) Fix the incoming call path to check incoming calls earlier to reject
>      calls to RPC services for which we don't have a security key of the
>      appropriate class.  This avoids an assertion failure if YFS tries
>      making a secure call to the kafs cache manager RPC service.
