Subject: nbd drops connection on most writes

Hi!
I'm afraid that 4.13-rc1 nbd aborts connection on writes for me:

[  251.938384] block nbd0: Send data failed (result -11)
[  251.943484] block nbd0: Request send failed trying another connection
[  251.950034] block nbd0: Receive control failed (result -32)
[  251.955676] block nbd0: Attempted send on invalid socket
[  251.961022] print_req_error: I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2206344
[  251.961025] block nbd0: shutting down sockets

Not all kinds of writes trigger the problem.  For example, you can dd to the
nbd block device, likewise badblocks -w succeeds without a hitch.  Yet at
least btrfs and swap disconnect nearly immediately.  Reads seem to work: for
example, btrfs can usually mount and scrub successfully, yet minor writes
that happen on a filesystem mounted rw even without explicit user-level
writes cause a disconnect in a short time.  "Real" writes to the filesystem
trigger it apparently outright.  Likewise, to use swap you need to write to
it first, thus it fails quickly.

Reproduced on arm64 (Pine64) first.  As this SoC just switched from an
out-of-tree ethernet driver to a completely different new one (dwmac-sun8i),
and such a switch can't be bisected, I assumed that's the culprit and did
not complain while in -next.

However, turns out the same happens on a bog-standard amd64, both on bare
metal and in qemu.

In all of these cases, the server is an amd64 Debian stretch, kernel
4.9.30-2+deb9u2, nbd-server 1:3.15.2-3.

Bisect blames dc88e34d "nbd: set sk->sk_sndtimeo for our sockets", and
indeed, reverting that patch makes everything fine again.
