Write space becoming available may race with putting the task to sleep in xprt_wait_for_buffer_space(). The existing mechanism to avoid the race does not work. This (edited) partial trace illustrates the problem: [1] rpc_task_run_action: task:43546@5 ... action=call_transmit [2] xs_write_space <-xs_tcp_write_space [3] xprt_write_space <-xs_write_space [4] rpc_task_sleep: task:43546@5 ... [5] xs_write_space <-xs_tcp_write_space [1] Task 43546 runs but is out of write space. [2] Space becomes available, xs_write_space() clears the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit. [3] xprt_write_space() attemts to wake xprt->snd_task (== 43546), but this has not yet been queued and the wake up is lost. [4] xs_nospace() is called which calls xprt_wait_for_buffer_space() which queues task 43546. [5] The call to sk->sk_write_space() at the end of xs_nospace() (which is supposed to handle the above race) does not call xprt_write_space() as the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit is clear and thus the task is not woken. Fix the race by resetting the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit in xs_nospace() so the second call to sk->sk_write_space() calls xprt_write_space().
