    os: Don't crash in AttendClient if the client is gone · 4308f5d3
    Aaron Plattner authored
    If a client is in the process of being closed down, then its client->osPrivate
    pointer will be set to NULL by CloseDownConnection. This can cause a crash if
    freeing the client's resources results in a call to AttendClient. For example,
    if the client has a pending sync fence:
    
     Thread 1 "X" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    Since the client is about to be freed, its ignore count doesn't matter and
    AttendClient can simply be a no-op. Check for client->clientGone in AttendClient
    and remove similar checks from two callers that had them.
