socket closing needs to be moved to a non-atomic context and,
sender thread seemed to be a good place to do this. If you mean
send blocks just before calling sock_shutdown[?] in nbd_thread_send
then yes I think that should be removed. I need to re-check how nbd-server
behaves in that case.

you are right, with your earlier patch we don't need it to be a mutex.

Ok. I get it. But shouldn't the server side also close it's socket as
well? I don't
think the timeout value is propagated to server or like server can
"ping" to check
if client is there right?

I agree on nbd_send_req in timedout, it shouldn't be there, just a
sock_shutdown should
do. Can you confirm if I'm right about nbd-server side as well like it
won't timeout and close
that socket or did I miss any option while starting it?
