I think you missed the first svc_close_list?:

The idea is that before we'd like to close all the listeners first, so
that they aren't busy creating more tempsocks while we're trying to
close them.

I overlooked a race, though: if another thread was already handling an
accept for one of the listeners then it might not get closed by that
first svc_clean_up_xprts.

I guess we could do something like:

delay = 0;

again:
numclosed = svc_close_list(serv, &serv->sv_permsocks, net);
numclosed += svc_close_list(serv, &serv->sv_tempsocks, net);
if (numclosed) {
svc_clean_up_xprts(serv, net);
msleep(delay++);
goto again;
}

Seems a little cheesy, but if we don't care much about shutdown
performance in a rare corner case, maybe it's the simplest way out?
