TLS TX needs to release and re-acquire the socket lock if send buffer
fills up.
TLS SW TX path currently depends on only allowing one thread to enter
the function by the abuse of sk_write_pending. If another writer is
already waiting for memory no new ones are allowed in.
This has two problems:
- writers don't wake other threads up when they leave the kernel;
meaning that this scheme works for single extra thread (second
application thread or delayed work) because memory becoming
available will send a wake up request, but as Mallesham and
Pooja report with larger number of threads it leads to threads
being put to sleep indefinitely;
- the delayed work does not get _scheduled_ but it may _run_ when
other writers are present leading to crashes as writers don't
expect state to change under their feet (same records get pushed
and freed multiple times); it's hard to reliably bail from the
work, however, because the mere presence of a writer does not
guarantee that the writer will push pending records before exiting.
Ensuring wakeups always happen will make the code basically open
code a mutex. Just use a mutex.
The TLS HW TX path does not have any locking (not even the
sk_write_pending hack), yet it uses a per-socket sg_tx_data
array to push records.
