There is a race condition between rds_send_xmit -> rds_tcp_xmit
and the code that deals with resolution of duelling syns added
by commit 241b271952 ("RDS-TCP: Reset tcp callbacks if re-using an
outgoing socket in rds_tcp_accept_one()").
Specifically, we may end up derefencing a null pointer in rds_send_xmit
if we have the interleaving sequence:
rds_tcp_accept_one rds_send_xmit
conn is RDS_CONN_UP, so
invoke rds_tcp_xmit
tc = conn->c_transport_data
rds_tcp_restore_callbacks
/* reset t_sock */
null ptr deref from tc->t_sock
The race condition can be avoided without adding the overhead of
additional locking in the xmit path: have rds_tcp_accept_one wait
for rds_tcp_xmit threads to complete before resetting callbacks.
The synchronization can be done in the same manner as rds_conn_shutdown().
First set the rds_conn_state to something other than RDS_CONN_UP
(so that new threads cannot get into rds_tcp_xmit()), then wait for
RDS_IN_XMIT to be cleared in the conn->c_flags indicating that any
threads in rds_tcp_xmit are done.
