Several state changes occur during SMC socket closing. Currently state changes triggered locally occur in process context with lock_sock() taken while state changes triggered by peer occur in tasklet context with bh_lock_sock() taken. bh_lock_sock() does not wait till a lock_sock(() task in process context is finished. This may lead to races in socket state transitions resulting in dangling SMC-sockets, or it may lead to duplicate SMC socket freeing. This patch introduces a closing worker to run all state changes under lock_sock().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
