commit d48f9ce73c997573e1b512893fa6eddf353a6f69 upstream.
Write space becoming available may race with putting the task to sleep
in xprt_wait_for_buffer_space(). The existing mechanism to avoid the
race does not work.
This (edited) partial trace illustrates the problem:
[1] rpc_task_run_action: task:43546@5 ... action=call_transmit
[2] xs_write_space <-xs_tcp_write_space
[3] xprt_write_space <-xs_write_space
[4] rpc_task_sleep: task:43546@5 ...
[5] xs_write_space <-xs_tcp_write_space
[1] Task 43546 runs but is out of write space.
[2] Space becomes available, xs_write_space() clears the
SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit.
[3] xprt_write_space() attemts to wake xprt->snd_task (== 43546), but
this has not yet been queued and the wake up is lost.
[4] xs_nospace() is called which calls xprt_wait_for_buffer_space()
which queues task 43546.
[5] The call to sk->sk_write_space() at the end of xs_nospace() (which
is supposed to handle the above race) does not call
xprt_write_space() as the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit is clear and
thus the task is not woken.
Fix the race by resetting the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit in xs_nospace()
so the second call to sk->sk_write_space() calls xprt_write_space().
