2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust commit 15f081ca8ddfe150fb639c591b18944a539da0fc upstream. If the socket is unconnected, and xprt_transmit() returns ENOTCONN, we currently give up the lock on the transport channel. Doing so means that the lock automatically gets assigned to the next task in the xprt->sending queue, and so that task needs to be woken up to do the actual connect. The following patch aims to avoid that unnecessary task switch.
