[PATCH net 4/6] rxrpc: Once packet posted in data_ready, don't retry posting

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Aug 09 2016 - 12:33:55 EST


Once a packet has been posted to a connection in the data_ready handler, we
mustn't try reposting if we then find that the connection is dying as the
refcount has been given over to the dying connection and the packet might
no longer exist.

Losing the packet isn't a problem as the peer will retransmit.
