From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2f3ab6221e4c87960347d65c7cab9bd917d1f637 upstream. When link is down, writes to the device might fail with -EIO. Userspace needs an indication when the status is resolved. As a fix, tun_net_open() attempts to wake up writers - but that is only effective if SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE has been set in the past. This is not the case of vhost_net which only poll for EPOLLOUT after it meets errors during sendmsg(). This patch fixes this by making sure SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE is set when socket is not writable or device is down to guarantee EPOLLOUT will be raised in either tun_chr_poll() or tun_sock_write_space() after device is up.
