From 06ea0bfe6e6043cb56a78935a19f6f8ebc636226 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:15:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: Fix races in xs_nospace() When a send failure occurs due to the socket being out of buffer space, we call xs_nospace() in order to have the RPC task wait until the socket has drained enough to make it worth while trying again. The current patch fixes a race in which the socket is drained before we get round to setting up the machinery in xs_nospace(), and which is reported to cause hangs.
