[PATCH 3.8 12/81] SUNRPC: Fix races in xs_nospace()

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.20 -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.

Fixes: a9a6b52ee1ba (SUNRPC: Don't start the retransmission timer...)
