tcp: Fix race in tcp_poll
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If a RST comes in immediately after checking sk->sk_err, tcp_poll will
return POLLIN but not POLLOUT.  Fix this by checking sk->sk_err at the end
of tcp_poll.  Additionally, ensure the correct order of operations on SMP
machines with memory barriers.
