    RDS-TCP: Reset tcp callbacks if re-using an outgoing socket in rds_tcp_accept_one() · 241b2719

    Consider the following "duelling syn" sequence between two peers A and B:
            	A		B
            	SYN1     -->
            	    	<--	SYN2
            	SYN2ACK  -->
    
    Note that the SYN/ACK has already been sent out by TCP before
    rds_tcp_accept_one() gets invoked as part of callbacks.
    
    If the inet_addr(A) is numerically less than inet_addr(B),
    the arbitration scheme in rds_tcp_accept_one() will prefer the
    TCP connection triggered by SYN1, and will send a CLOSE for the
    SYN2 (just after the SYN2ACK was sent).
    
    Since B also follows the same arbitration scheme, it will send the SYN-ACK
    for SYN1 that will set up a healthy ESTABLISHED connection on both sides.
    B will also get a  CLOSE for SYN2, which should result in the cleanup
    of the TCP state machine for SYN2, but it should not trigger any
    stale RDS-TCP callbacks (such as ->writespace, ->state_change etc),
    that would disrupt the progress of the SYN2 based RDS-TCP  connection.
    
    Thus the arbitration scheme in rds_tcp_accept_one() should restore
    rds_tcp callbacks for the winner before setting them up for the
    new accept socket, and also make sure that conn->c_outgoing
    is set to 0 so that we do not trigger any reconnect attempts on the
    passive side of the tcp socket in the future, in conformance with
    commit c82ac7e6 ("net/rds: RDS-TCP: only initiate reconnect attempt
    on outgoing TCP socket.")
