[06/27] SUNRPC: Ensure we return EAGAIN in xs_nospace if congestion is cleared

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 24ca9a847791fd53d9b217330b15f3c285827a18 upstream.

By returning '0' instead of 'EAGAIN' when the tests in xs_nospace() fail
to find evidence of socket congestion, we are making the RPC engine believe
that the message was incorrectly sent and so it disconnects the socket
instead of just retrying.

The bug appears to have been introduced by commit
5e3771ce2d6a69e10fcc870cdf226d121d868491 (SUNRPC: Ensure that xs_nospace
return values are propagated).
