rpcsvc: fix dangerous setting of pointer on free'd structure
The current code is setting @req->hdr_iobuf = NULL _after_ calling actor_fn() on @req. Calling actor_fn() takes away all guarantees of whether @req is still a valid object or destroyed. Unfortunately most of the times the object is allocated from mem-pool an a mem_put() still keeps the arena allocated (no crash). However once the mem-pool is full and allocation falls back to malloc()/free() the code actually becomes dangerous. This resulted in random crashes when the system load is high (when there were sufficient outstanding calls that @rpc pool got full) Change-Id: I4398c717aa0e2c5f06733212b64dd79e7b2a4136 BUG: 884452 Signed-off-by: Anand Avati <avati@redhat.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/4990 Reviewed-by: Krishnan Parthasarathi <kparthas@redhat.com> Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com>
