Under some circumstances, rxrpc will fail a transmit a packet through the
underlying UDP socket (ie. UDP sendmsg returns an error). This may result
in a call getting stuck.
In the instance being seen, where AFS tries to send a probe to the Volume
Location server, tracepoints show the UDP Tx failure (in this case returing
error 99 EADDRNOTAVAIL) and then nothing more:
afs_make_vl_call: c=0000015d VL.GetCapabilities
rxrpc_call: c=0000015d NWc u=1 sp=rxrpc_kernel_begin_call+0x106/0x170 [rxrpc] a=00000000dd89ee8a
rxrpc_call: c=0000015d Gus u=2 sp=rxrpc_new_client_call+0x14f/0x580 [rxrpc] a=00000000e20e4b08
rxrpc_call: c=0000015d SEE u=2 sp=rxrpc_activate_one_channel+0x7b/0x1c0 [rxrpc] a=00000000e20e4b08
rxrpc_call: c=0000015d CON u=2 sp=rxrpc_kernel_begin_call+0x106/0x170 [rxrpc] a=00000000e20e4b08
rxrpc_tx_fail: c=0000015d r=1 ret=-99 CallDataNofrag
The problem is that if the initial packet fails and the retransmission
timer hasn't been started, the call is set to completed and an error is
returned from rxrpc_send_data_packet() to rxrpc_queue_packet(). Though
rxrpc_instant_resend() is called, this does nothing because the call is
marked completed.
So rxrpc_notify_socket() isn't called and the error is passed back up to
rxrpc_send_data(), rxrpc_kernel_send_data() and thence to afs_make_call()
and afs_vl_get_capabilities() where it is simply ignored because it is
assumed that the result of a probe will be collected asynchronously.
Fileserver probing is similarly affected via afs_fs_get_capabilities().
Fix this by always issuing a notification in __rxrpc_set_call_completion()
if it shifts a call to the completed state, even if an error is also
returned to the caller through the function return value.
Also put in a little bit of optimisation to avoid taking the call
state_lock and disabling softirqs if the call is already in the completed
state and remove some now redundant rxrpc_notify_socket() calls.
Fixes:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
