Subject: nbd: prevent sock_xmit from attempting to use a NULL socket
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffc41cf8dbb1b895a87daf47d0e5bf6dfbfcab4c;p=linux-beck.git

nbd: prevent sock_xmit from attempting to use a NULL socket

NBD does not protect the nbd_device's socket from becoming NULL during
receives.

This closes a race with the NBD_CLEAR_SOCK ioctl (nbd-client -d) setting
the nbd_device's socket to NULL right before NBD calls sock_xmit.
