Hi Trond, Following are two patches have already been sent in some form, but don't seem to be in your tree yet. First is a simple bug fix for a recent breakage. The second allows SOFTCONN connections to fail quickly on a fatal error (such as net-unreachable). You did comment on the first version and wondered about merging some similar functions, so this version does that merge. Thanks, NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (2): sunrpc: wake up SOFTCONN tasks when a connection error happens.
