When application sending data more than sndbuf_space, there have chances application will sleep in epoll_wait, and will never be wakeup again. This is caused by a race between smc_poll and smc_cdc_tx_handler. application tasklet smc_tx_sendmsg(len > sndbuf_space) | epoll_wait for EPOLL_OUT,timeout=0 | smc_poll | if (!smc->conn.sndbuf_space) | | smc_cdc_tx_handler | atomic_add sndbuf_space | smc_tx_sndbuf_nonfull | if (!test_bit SOCK_NOSPACE) | do not sk_write_space; set_bit SOCK_NOSPACE; | return mask=0; | Application will sleep in epoll_wait as smc_poll returns 0. And smc_cdc_tx_handler will not call sk_write_space because the SOCK_NOSPACE has not be set. If there is no inflight cdc msg, sk_write_space will not be called any more, and application will sleep in epoll_wait forever. So check sndbuf_space again after NOSPACE flag is set to break the race.
