Thanks, Bruce.
This looks like the old issue I was trying to fix with "SUNRPC: protect service sockets lists during per-net shutdown".
So, here is the problem as I see it: there is a transport, which is processed by service thread and it's processing is racing with per-net service shutdown:

CPU#0: CPU#1:

svc_recv svc_close_net
svc_get_next_xprt (list_del_init(xpt_ready))
svc_close_list (set XPT_BUSY and XPT_CLOSE)
svc_clear_pools(xprt was gained on CPU#0 already)
svc_delete_xprt (set XPT_DEAD)
svc_handle_xprt (is XPT_CLOSE => svc_delete_xprt()
BUG()

So, from my POW, we need some way to:
1) Skip such in-progress transports on svc_close_net() call (there is not way to detect them, or at least I don't see one)
2) Delete the transport after somewhere after svc_xprt_received()

But there is a problem with svc_xprt_received(): there is a call for svc_xprt_put() in it (svc_recv->svc_handle_xprt->svc_xprt_received->svc_xprt_put) . And if
we are the only user - then the transport will be destroyed. But transport is dereferenced later in svc_recv() after the svc_handle_xprt call.

What do you think, Bruce?
