[PATCH] nfc: llcp: stop processing on LLCP_CLOSED in nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc()

[PATCH] nfc: llcp: stop processing on LLCP_CLOSED in nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc()

[Qianchang Zhao]

nfc_llcp_sock_get() takes a reference on the LLCP socket via sock_hold().

In nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc(), the LLCP_CLOSED branch releases the socket lock and
drops the reference, but the function continues to operate on llcp_sock/sk and
later runs release_sock() and nfc_llcp_sock_put() again on the common exit path.

Return immediately after the CLOSED cleanup to avoid refcount/lock imbalance and
to avoid using the socket after dropping the reference.

No, drop. Same comments as for other patch.

Organize your patches in a patchset. Don't send independent works, it's
just more work for maintainers to apply.

Answer my previous questions from the private thread.
