    SUNRPC: Ensure we release the socket write lock if the rpc_task exits early · 87ed5003
    Trond Myklebust authored
    If the rpc_task exits while holding the socket write lock before it has
    allocated an rpc slot, then the usual mechanism for releasing the write
    lock in xprt_release() is defeated.
    
    The problem occurs if the call to xprt_lock_write() initially fails, so
    that the rpc_task is put on the xprt->sending wait queue. If the task
    exits after being assigned the lock by __xprt_lock_write_func, but
    before it has retried the call to xprt_lock_and_alloc_slot(), then
    it calls xprt_release() while holding the write lock, but will
    immediately exit due to the test for task->tk_rqstp != NULL.
