RDS: TCP: avoid bad page reference in rds_tcp_listen_data_ready
As the existing comments in rds_tcp_listen_data_ready() indicate, it is possible under some race-windows to get to this function with the accept() socket. If that happens, we could run into a sequence whereby thread 1 thread 2 rds_tcp_accept_one() thread sets up new_sock via ->accept(). The sk_user_data is now sock_def_readable data comes in for new_sock, ->sk_data_ready is called, and we land in rds_tcp_listen_data_ready rds_tcp_set_callbacks() takes the sk_callback_lock and sets up sk_user_data to be the cp read_lock sk_callback_lock ready = cp unlock sk_callback_lock page fault on ready In the above sequence, we end up with a panic on a bad page reference when trying to execute (*ready)(). Instead we need to call sock_def_readable() safely, which is what this patch achieves.
