    rxrpc: Move client call connection to the I/O thread · 9d35d880
    David Howells authored
    Move the connection setup of client calls to the I/O thread so that a whole
    load of locking and barrierage can be eliminated.  This necessitates the
    app thread waiting for connection to complete before it can begin
    encrypting data.
    
    This also completes the fix for a race that exists between call connection
    and call disconnection whereby the data transmission code adds the call to
    the peer error distribution list after the call has been disconnected (say
    by the rxrpc socket getting closed).
    
    The fix is to complete the process of moving call connection, data
    transmission and call disconnection into the I/O thread and thus forcibly
    serialising them.
    
    Note that the issue may predate the overhaul to an I/O thread model that
    were included in the merge window for v6.2, but the timing is very much
    changed by the change given below.
