NeilBrown 3ffbc1d655 net/sunrpc/xprt_sock: fix regression in connection error reporting.
Commit 3d4762639dd3 ("tcp: remove poll() flakes when receiving
RST") in v4.12 changed the order in which ->sk_state_change()
and ->sk_error_report() are called when a socket is shut
down - sk_state_change() is now called first.

This causes xs_tcp_state_change() -> xs_sock_mark_closed() ->
xprt_disconnect_done() to wake all pending tasked with -EAGAIN.
When the ->sk_error_report() callback arrives, it is too late to
pass the error on, and it is lost.

As easy way to demonstrate the problem caused is to try to start
rpc.nfsd while rcpbind isn't running.
nfsd will attempt a tcp connection to rpcbind.  A ECONNREFUSED
error is returned, but sunrpc code loses the error and keeps
retrying.  If it saw the ECONNREFUSED, it would abort.

To fix this, handle the sk->sk_err in the TCP_CLOSE branch of
xs_tcp_state_change().

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
