Hi,

Currently, the (session->last_cmd != 0) path in j1939_xtp_rx_rts_session_active() is
preventing the (session->state == J1939_SESSION_WAITING_ABORT) path in j1939_tp_rxtimer()
 from being called. This results in two j1939_priv refcounts leak (which in turn results in
one net_device refcount leak) due to j1939_session_deactivate_activate_next() being not called.

This problem goes away if I do either

This way looks better for me. May be add a comment like this:
            /* Force deactivation for the receiver.
             * If we rely on the timer starting in j1939_session_cancel, 
             * a second RTS call here will cancel that timer and fail 
             * to restart it because the state is already WAITING_ABORT.

                return -EBUSY;

. But what is the correct approach?
The second one. Thank you for your work.
