Hi David,

For second option, I think it may meet some difficulty, because we
cannot figure out whether rxrpc_send_data() meets lock error.
To be more specific, rxrpc_send_data() may still returns the number
it has copied even rxrpc_send_data() meets lock error, if
rxrpc_send_data() has successfully dealed some data.(Please correct me
if I am wrong)

So I think the first option seems better. I wonder if we can add an
argument in rxrpc_send_data() as an indication you pointed out? Maybe:

After applying the above patch, kernel still panic, but seems not the
bad unlock balance bug before. yet I am not sure if this is the same bug you
mentioned. Kernel output as below:
