3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 06ea0bfe6e6043cb56a78935a19f6f8ebc636226 upstream. When a send failure occurs due to the socket being out of buffer space, we call xs_nospace() in order to have the RPC task wait until the socket has drained enough to make it worth while trying again. The current patch fixes a race in which the socket is drained before we get round to setting up the machinery in xs_nospace(), and which is reported to cause hangs.
