From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply. However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately. Meanwhile other threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut down. This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look to the client like further read data. Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging something like kernel: rpc-srv/tcp: nfsd: sent only 963696 when sending 1048708 bytes - shutting down socket Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reported-by: Malahal Naineni <malahal@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: J.
