Subject: [71/82] tcp: Fix race in tcp_poll

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Tom Marshall <tdm.code@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit a4d258036ed9b2a1811c3670c6099203a0f284a0 ]

If a RST comes in immediately after checking sk->sk_err, tcp_poll will
return POLLIN but not POLLOUT.  Fix this by checking sk->sk_err at the end
of tcp_poll.  Additionally, ensure the correct order of operations on SMP
machines with memory barriers.
