Searching other crashes for "net/rds" I found 2 more crashes that may
be related. They suggest that the delayed works are not properly
stopped when the socket is destroyed. That would explain how
rds_connect_worker accesses freed net, right?
yes, I think we may want to explicitly cancel this workq.. this
in rds_conn_destroy().

I'm trying to build/sanity-test (if lucky, reproduce the bug)
as I send this out.. let me get back to you..

If I have a patch against net-next, would you be willing/able to
try it out? given that this does not show up on demand, I'm not
sure how we can check that "the fix worked"..

Yes, I can now apply custom patches to the bots. However, it fired
only 3 times, so it will give weak signal. But at least it will test
that the patch does not cause other bad things.
