In ceph_con_in_msg_alloc() it is possible for a connection's alloc_msg method to indicate an incoming message should be skipped. By default, read_partial_message() initializes the skip variable to 0 before it gets provided to ceph_con_in_msg_alloc(). The osd client, mon client, and mds client each supply an alloc_msg method. The mds client always assigns skip to be 0. The other two leave the skip value of as-is, or assigns it to zero, except: - if no (osd or mon) request having the given tid is found, in which case skip is set to 1 and NULL is returned; or - in the osd client, if the data of the reply message is not adequate to hold the message to be read, it assigns skip value 1 and returns NULL. So the returned message pointer will always be NULL if skip is ever non-zero. Clean up the logic a bit in ceph_con_in_msg_alloc() to make this state of affairs more obvious. Add a comment explaining how a null message pointer can mean either a message that should be skipped or a problem allocating a message.
